Spoke
(Hausmusik) Used LP $25.00
Released under a different name, the 1996 debut by Calexico snatches up the bits of Americana turned out by a rototilling of the national music psyche. Nineteen tracks, some insect small and erratic in flight, some held up by guitar, or by accordion, or by vibes. A bit of desert dust sprinkled throughout may be the only constant theme, much like a Santa Fe rummage sale of sounds.
