After the more somber terrain of 2012's Algiers, Calexico gave equal time to their lighthearted side with Edge of the Sun. Songs such as "Cumbia de Donde," with its buzzy synths, twanging guitars, and bold brass, recall the freewheeling spirit of the band's early days. Recorded in Mexico City, this is also their most collaborative work yet, with cameos by Neko Case, Amparo Sanchez, Iron & Wine's Sam Beam, Band of Horses' Ben Bridwell, and DeVotchka's Nick Urata adding to the festive feel. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
