Phenomenology by The Mining Co. Chaparral by Dillbilly. The Ohio songwriter navigates gender, queerness, class, and privilege through a powerful mix of country rock, folk ballads, and bluegrass.

Irish singer-songwriter Sarah E. Cullen bares her heart over pastoral folk arrangements enshrouded in a dream-pop haze. Lit Way Down by Mt Went. Beautiful and mysterious folk-adjacent songs from this UK outfit that wreathe delicate acoustic guitar in mist-like synths.

The drummer's complex rhythms allow a song like the live version of "Lost in Space" to essentially turn itself inside out, and he adds a jazzy spontaneity even to the rigid beats of "Boletos" and "Entrenando a Los Tigres". Burns may have started out as a slightly distant frontman with a limited vocal range, which actually reinforced certain themes of in-between-ness in their songs, but somewhere in the early s, he developed a much more expressive delivery and became a much more engaged interpreter.

On the dark cover of the 19th-century lullaby "All the Pretty Horses", he doesn't shrink from the sing-song melody or from the unsettling lyrics about flies feasting on a dead child.

It's a fine showcase for both musicians, actually, as Convertino's drums comment on the verses with muted menace. Selections lacks the impact and narrative thrust of Calexico's best albums, but it doesn't sound like a hastily assembled odds-and-ends collection either. Instead, it showcases one of the band's defining and most distinguishing traits-- its ability to jumble and blur so many different styles and sounds together.

Burns and Convertino ambitiously and unself-consciously assert that mariachi, meringue, folk, jazz, rock, soundtrack scores, and studio tinkering all exist on the same plane and all lead ultimately to the same dark desert heart.

Road Atlas makes that point with more power and nuance, but Selections is persuasive in its own right. Sanchez 7. Fade 8. Lost In Space 9. Minas De Cobre Wind Up Bird Stray Crystal Frontier Paper Re-Route Half a Smidge 2.
