QUATTRO (WORLD DRIFTS IN)

CALEXICO have confirmed details of the first single to be taken from their recent album FEAST OF WIRE. Currently basking in critical acclaim warmer than their native Tucson sun, Joey Burns and John Convertino are also celebrating the fact that FEAST OF WIRE debuted in the European charts at #25, and shipped almost 100,000 copies in its first two weeks.

QUATTRO (WORLD DRIFTS IN) is released on April 28th, and is available on CD. One of the highlights of the recent album, it showcases Burns’ way with a killer melody and his increasingly potent voice, Convertino’s endlessly inventive rhythms, and songwriting that is understated but unforgettable. The single features two exclusive B-sides, the accordion waltz of Praskovia and Pampa, which recalls the soundscapes created by Ry Cooder for the legendary Paris, Texas soundtrack. Artwork, as ever, is by Victor Gastelum. A video has also been shot in the streets of New York.

HOTTER THAN A HABANERO PEPPER
“Calexico’s frontier is clearly the place to be.” (Metro Life, Evening Standard) / “Jaw-dropping.” (X-Ray) / “Brimming over with confidence and ideas.” (Esquire) / “You know this is too good for the flannel-shirts to keep to themselves.” (Muzik) / “Still more blazing than a thousand sunsets.” (i-D) / “Their most intimate, endearing outing yet.” (The Independent Information) / “Verve and vigour in every track.” (The Times Play) / “Seductive stirring songs about crushed hope and the corruption of beauty and some of their most ambitious arrangements make this their most full-realised and accomplished album yet.” (Mojo) / “Calexico are truly a jewel.” (Record Collector) / “Sweeping skies, swooping strings, desert songs and Cosmic American Music – we are back in Calexico country.” (Maxim) / “Albums are, this year, very unlikely to get much better than Feast of Wire.” (Guardian Guide) / "Feast of Wire lays down an optimistically early marker as one of the albums of the year."
