Tried this one this morning on Tidal. Can’t say it really grabbed me !
Any recommendations from their back catalogue? I’m generally pretty keen on Americana….
Agreed - they're both excellent and I'd probably add 'The Black Light' to those two.I really like Hot Rail and Feast of Wire from the early 00's.

FWIW I'm struggling with 'El Mirador' as well.
Hot Rail was the album that got me into Calexico - it's very good - but I think Feast of Wire is their best (so far).Sorry - meant Black Light, not Hot Rail - don't know that one - edited post.
Incidentally Robert Plant and Alison Krauss included a (not very particularly cover of a) song from Feast of Wire on their recent record.
I'll give that a listen later this evening on QobuzOn vinyl - a great guitar trio record with dynamic sound quality which IMO rivals Tone Poets, even if the pressing isn't quite at the same level.
