Product Review:

The latest album from Calexico, Carried To Dust, is a stunningly crafted collection of folk rock songs. With its blend of Americana and Latin influences, the band creates an emotional soundscape that is sure to please fans of the genre.

The album opens with the powerful “Victor Jara’s Hands”, a track that builds up to a crescendo of emotion. This sets the tone for what follows – an array of beautiful folk-rock tunes such as “Two Silver Trees” and “Man Made Lake” – showcasing Calexico's unique musical style. The moody atmosphere created on these songs is further enhanced by tasteful instrumentation and vocal harmonies throughout.

Carried To Dust marks a return to Calexico's roots after their more experimental releases in recent years. It proves once again why they are one of America's most beloved bands – creating music that speaks to both the heart and soul. For anyone looking for thoughtful and engaging music, this album is highly recommended listening!
