freverend Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Super stoked as this is one of my favourite releases by one of my favourite bands! New artwork, gatefold sleeve, clear vinyl option and 11 (!) bonus tracks! European version on City Slang US version on Touch&Go/Quarterstick throwgncpr, Chuck Shivers and THE_James_Champ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_James_Champ Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I love this band. Feast of Wire is by far my favorite album by them. freverend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh did you post to post, or to get reacts? I mean, I'm excited, and Man Goes Where Water Flows is a great song but Calexico are as popular now as the Mekons were in the 2000s. They're a cult band here. They fill mid-sized venues but expecting a lot of traction for them on here is expecting a lot. Unlike Lampchop, they're very political about Mexico/U.S. border issues so that's a turn-off, unfortunately, for many Americans, including people in this forum, no doubt.

Thanks, and I really thought nobody cares. But I can understand - also as a huge Lambchop fan - what you're talking about.

DC1221 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I've been meaning to get into this band for a long time. Loved their work with Iron and Wine. Is this album a good starting point? OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this album a good starting point? Oh yes, I would say so, but I would then skip to Feast of Wire next. Hot Rail is the third-best of their early era IMO. Also check out their comp. albums Some of their best songs are non-album tracks. Heck, even the remixes by IDM artists are fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I love this band, at least up until the last couple albums anyway. Will be buying for sure. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhenrecords Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Incredible band. Have seen them a few times, including as recently as this past May. Stunning. Will consider picking this up on release day. Also Lambchop is one of the best bands ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
