Calexico Announces New Album ‘Edge of the Sun’ – Features Collaborations with Sam Beam, Neko Case, Ben Bridwell

Tucson Arizona’s Calexico are returning with the follow-up to 2012’s Algiers and the 2013 live album Spiritoso. Their ninth studio full length recording is called Edge of the Sun  and is due out April 14th via Anti-/City Slang and it features collaborations with Neko Case, Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam, Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell, DeVotchka’s Nick Urata, Gaby Moreno, Mexican artist Carla Morrison, and others.  Check out the album track “Cumbia de Donde” below.

The album was recorded in Mexico City. The band’s Joey Burns said in a statement:

The ‘edge of the sun’ could be coming from the direction of darkness seeking light, or riding the line between both. Which side of this edge are you on? Traversing along the edge of the sun, that to me feels closest to what this album is and what the band has been, and where we are with this international makeup of musicians. Madrid, Nashville, Tucson, El Paso, Berlin; it’s an eclectic mix. All in all, this album is about pushing through the blue to brighter days. Calexico has always had that element of hope, going back and forth between a positive outlook and embracing desperate or dark themes that I think we all share.
