CALEXICO
Even My Sure Things Fall Through (Quarterstick)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

Sweeping mariachi dust bowl ballads are a dangerous addiction. Innocuous sounding, the sonic waves penetrate via the aural cavity, infiltrating storage spaces designed for anxiety and depression, rendering the victim defenseless in a hazy state of dreamy comfort and opiate-like bliss. Calexico should be taken in small doses, with the correct prescription, and only on the assurance and total recommendation of the proper authorities. Warning: this dosage also contains a three cocktail visual stimulant that may prove too enticing to avoid.
