    Without question my favorite album in this genre of all time. Every single song is worth listening to. Absolutely a 10 out of 10 album. Man Made Lake and Red Blooms are my faves.

    While most groups lasting over 10 years tend to run on artistic fumes, Joey Burns and John Convertino gush with unbridled creative enthusiasm here.

    Carried to Dust feels like a precise parsing of Calexico's best elements, a lingering, understated beauty.

    Carried To Dust is definitely Calexico's best-sounding record: Each voice and instrument has its place, wheeling around Convertino's graceful drumming like dancers going around the maypole.
