“I have a hard time singing songs with ‘I’, ‘Me’ and ‘You’. It’s hard to get into the mindset to sing ballads or love songs. I’ve heard enough of them. I want to hear something else, something in a different language or a different expression.”

“Calexico spin the spotlight to the Southwest and its indigenous culture, then incorporate a rich musical knowledge that takes in Gil Evans’ big band jazz, mariachi, Chicagoan post-rock, the dust-caked twang of Duane Eddy and Lee Hazlewood, Ennio Morricone’s widescreen melodrama, and even the faintest specters of California punk.”
