Calexico & Oakley Hall @ Webster Hall, NYC - pics

September 25, 2008

Calexico‘s new album Carried to Dust was released earlier this month.

New album Carried To Dust is their most ambitious yet and is a return to form after 2004’s Garden Ruin, an album that saw them make a lunge at the mainstream. For that record, Calexico had shorn themselves of the mariachi brass that had been such an instantly recognisable part of their sound, relying instead on pedal steel to augment their country-inflected rock. It soon became apparent how much the horns were part of their dynamism. Now they are back to their vibrant best, with a set of songs and instrumentals that mix contemporary Latino sounds with US post-rock. [The Independent]

Last night they played a show with Oakley Hall at Webster Hall (9/24). More pictures below…
