Calexico went down a treat at this year’s Celtic Connections (see our photo feature) as they performed from their extensive back catalogue and performed tracks from their forthcoming new album Edge of the Sun due for release via ANTI- on April 16th. Their new album is their most collaborative album to date with guest musicians ranging from Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), Nick Urata (Devotchka), Carla Morrison, Gaby Moreno, Amparo Sanchez, multi-instrumentalists from the Greek band Takim, and Neko Case.
Here’s another new track Falling from the Sky featuring Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses)
