Calexico - Feast of Wire (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Calexico's Feast Of Wire includes a bonus disc  More Cowboys In Sweden (Live).

Opener “Sunken Waltz” is a classic Calexico song, that has become one of the band’s most iconic fan favorites for a reason: every second of it feels like craftsman-level quality, to the point where it doesn’t even seem like it’s under two-and-a-half minutes long, and many of these songs feel as though Calexico were sucked into their own grooves while making them.

Calexico is such a beloved live act because of their willingness to improvise, to elongate, to divert into new and interesting alleyways. That spirit is all over Feast Of Wire's multi-genre song-smithing — songs like “Crumble” and “Quattro (World Drifts In)” are dense with myriad sonic layers that feel like they beckon you inwards, as Joey Burns’ voice comes close to trying to hypnotize you. For a band that feels like they should be somewhat straightforward, they never really are — and Feast of Wire presents us with a look at Calexico after they realized that fact, and then saw it for the asset that it is.

This anniversary collection comes with bonus content -  a live album - More Cowboys in Sweden: Live at China Theatre in Stockholm, 2003. This 10-song set allows us to hear clearly just how fucking dialed-in this band really was with Feast, far beyond the recording booth.

Plenty of excellent Calexico albums have come since Feast of Wire and many of them could point to it as the first massive step forward that led to their very creation. This is the point where all of the great things about the band coalesced, giving Calexico the shove they needed to grow into their own skin. (spectrumculture.com)
