Recent Press Quotes:
“From opener ‘Victor Jara’s Hand’ to the sunset afterglow of ‘Contention City’, it’s an evocative soundscape.” – The Guardian (UK)

“The best damn thing you hear this year.” – Blurt

“A beauty from start to finish.” – Paste

“Joey Burns and John Convertino’s sonic translations of dust-caked mythologies and hostile sandscapes modernize and polish everyday narratives into gleaming vignettes… Bouncing from South American political icons to snowy Russian cities, Carried to Dust’s songs travel a trail that seems carved out of ancient echoes.” – Spin

“Restraint, skill, rage at injustice and sudden flowering into melody – it’s Calexico’s best formula.” – Dusted

“It may be the band’s best album. It’s an elegantly produced collection of songs, with some wonderfully haunting moments.” – NPR
