Fans of Calexico have already come to expect the unexpected
from Tucson, Arizona residents Joey Burns and John
Convertino. Each of their albums, from their dusty, lo-fi
debut Spoke (1996) to the noir-infused dramatic power of
The Black Light (1998), the breakthrough, mariachi madness
of Hot Rail (2000), to their hugely successful most recent
album, Feast of Wire (2003), which flirted with ambient
electronica and Gil Evans infused jazz, charting in 14
European countries.
In 2006 comes Garden Ruin, officially the band's fifth
album, apart from their many tour-only CDs. Written in
Bisbee, AZ. Recorded in Tucson, AZ. Mixed in Brooklyn.
Mastered in California. It sees a new, and surprising
episode unfolding in the Calexico story.

------ About the song Stray performed by Calexico
in the end it says:
There's a flower that grows in a cave
So lovely to see but need to be saved
Its' beautiful blossom will wither and die
+
if ever this flower leave the darkness for daylight

------ About the song Sunken Waltz performed by Calexico
Washed my face in the rivers of empire
Made my bed from a cardboard crate
Down in the city of quartz
No news, no new regrets
Tossed a susan b. over my shoulder
And prayed it would rain and rain
Submerge the whole western states
Call it a last fair deal
With an american seal
And corporate hand shake
Take the story of carpenter mike
Dropped his tools and his keys and left
And headed out as far as he could
Past the cities and gated neighborhoods
He slept 'neath the stars
Wrote down what he dreamt
And he built a machine
For no one to see
Then took flight, first light in the morning
