"Noah and the Whale has never been an acclaimed band, their music is not out of this World, their lyrics are amazing but not too profound.

"Calexico is one of those bands, that nobody usually knows about (fully undeservedly). Their music is a fusion of mexican and american folk motives, sometimes with post-rock flavour, songs are imbued with deep melancholy, which erupts through the latin-american dancing rhytmes. Calexico belongs to..."  [+]  Reply
