Calexico interview

Pitchfork has a couple of other readable things at the moment. Check out the Calexico interview.

Pitchfork: How does press in Europe look at Calexico differently?

Burns: There they understand the subtleties more. If you're going to say what a "Calexico Sound" is-- [I'd] say that it's allowing the nuances to come through, the space in the music. It's paying attention to the subtlety of brushes on the drums or the vibraphone. It's not trumpets.

They also have a review of the new Jeff Tweedy side project "Loose Fur" record, rating it a respectable 7.3. Read the Loose Fur review here.
