Algiers

"The band still deals largely in shadows and echoes, and Algiers has plenty of those. "Puerto" and the title track feel like they could be a part of Calexico's catalog from way back when, while the single "Para" shows off their eerie, hypnotic side and the lovely Americana pop of "Fortune Teller" and "Hush" recalls Garden Ruin's folky idylls. While these tales of people trying to escape their pasts aren't quite as masterful as Carried to Dust, Algiers has some great songs and a vitality that Calexico should try to hang onto in the future".

"På No Te Vayas blæses samarbejdet med vennerne Jacob Valenzuela og Jairo Zavala op i bredformat på det store horisontale lærred, mens højdepunktet er den dystre Para, der trækker mørke faretruende skyer op. Calexico har med Algiers begået deres mest afvekslende album til dato, hvor stemning og melodiøsitet sætter ny standard".

"Et forblæst, sine steder dramatisk og hele vejen igennem smukt stykke desert noir. Nye fans kan begynde her - og gamle genoptage en sund vane".
