Where the open blue skies of the landscapes they chronicled before were tempered by the smoky dark blues of their jazz influences, GARDEN RUIN is musically brighter. Lyrically too, the album takes a left turn in which contemporary rather than mythical America is addressed. Put succinctly, GARDEN RUIN is where Calexico fill those dusty, empty landscapes they documented with a big, big sound.\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nSometimes the worst thing you can do is be very consistently great with your art. Calexico's failure to rise beyond cult status can perhaps be attributed to the fact that their albums are such subtle Whitman Samplers of Tex-Mex-and-kitchen-sink tastefulness.\nGarden Ruin, the group's poppiest album to date, just might change their socio-economic standing for the better. It's produced by JD Foster, but none of the things you love about Calexico--the sun-baked guitar, smoky vocals, mariachi horns, woozy lyrics--have left. Those elements are just grafted to crispier, more carefully delineated harmonies and multi-tracked backing vocals higher in the mix. By the album's end, on the slow-burning anthem \"All Systems Red,\" Joey Burns buzzes and howls with a force never shown before on album. It's what Sigur Ros might sound like if they came from Arizona, and it's truly excellent.\n--Mike McGonigal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 036172009725\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0036172009725\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45948466626594,"sku":"1L-YNES-T6X3","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51BhZ-Kq4VL.jpg?v=1783618456","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/calexico-garden-ruin-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
