"The greatest EP. Ever. Pure beauty. the 5 songs on here are an incredible, flowing tour-De-force of tenderest beauty. It is filled with the most achingly gorgeous melodies and guitar playing and some of the greatest lyrics I've ever heard. The vocals are so true, and plain and perfect throughout...."  [+]  Reply

"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.

"Hard pick between this and 'Nightclubbing' but this one just gets the nod for favoritism from me. Reason being I feel this has less tracks that I'd put in the filler category and doesn't just ride on the back of a couple of killer popular songs."  Reply
