Watch casadecalexico and IronAndWine's mesmerizing set for nprmusic's TinyDesk concert series
came during a mesmerizing three-song set posted on Thursday , that featured two songs from their recently released, long-in-the-works albumThe soothing-as-a-high-desert-sunset blended sound of Beam and Tucson, Arizona-bred Calexico springs to life on the jaunty "Father Mountain," which features Beam blending his lonesome whiskey vocals with Calexico singer/guitarist Joey Burns' as the pair strum acoustic guitars backed by Calexico drummer John Convertino and trumpet player Jacob...
"It's fun to be back, isn't it Joey?" Beam razzes before handing lead vocal duties over to Burns for the hushed, campfire reverie "Midnight Sun." "Yeah, she shook the ground / With every breath / Tossed his troubles aside / Made a shrine of every mess/ Well, a woman appeared / With a guillotine smile / She handed him a rose / Then he turned to stone," Burns sings in a near whisper over Burger's slide guitar and Convertino's brushed drumming.
The set ends with the shimmering "He Lays in the Reins," with Beam -- who previously played Tiny Desk with Iron & Wine and Jessica Hoop -- melding his signature forlorn vocals with Burns' high croon and a Spanish interlude from Valenzuela.
