Calexico has expertise in tracing imaginary paths, pulverizing geographical and mental borders with evocative music. The duo formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino is quite a brand, an institution of frontier rock that is slowly simmering in the southern United States.

Ever since breaking away from the old Giant Sands to leave Howe Gelb on his own, everything that Calexico has done has been remarkable. Including El mirador (2022), the duo's new album, which has a particularly bluesy accent with Latin American sounds, as if wanting to cover the entire North American continent, from top to bottom, with its unique sound.
