5.0 out of 5 stars
an ESSENTIAL Calexico ep, April 6 2004
This review is from: Convict Pool (Audio CD)
not a bunch of throwaway tracks, an essential own...
Alone Again Or-cover of 60's band Love, very good, got a vintage brass/folk rock sound, very happy which underlies a darker lyric
Convict Pool-understated thundering acoustic song,very emotional sounding
Si Tu Disais-Classic Calexico cover, originally by Francois Brut (?)originally on the ltd import of Feast of Wire with Link Wrays "Fallin Rain "(why is that not on here) along with
Corona-classic song,known by many as the song from Jackass. Its a Minutemen song, but the Calexico version adds the Mariachi horns and driving sound we all love
Praskovia-probably the most elkegant Calexico song yet, a more lush version of a waltz like Mazurka or Mazurra off Spoke,I imagine counts and countesses dancing to this one
Sirena-a new classic, rhythmically like Crystal Frontier, with a nice chorus and more understated horns
Besides all this its got a nifty bonus track of the cartoon El Kabong rides Again set to the tune of Minus De Cobra
