The new album ALGIERS is released today in North America. You can purchase it at iTunes, Amazon, via Anti- or from our new webstore.

Our new album is out today in the UK and much of Europe.  It’s called Algiers, named after the neighborhood in New Orleans where the bulk of the music was recorded.  Our longtime friend and co-producer Craig Schumacher, along with the staff at The Living Room Studio, did an incredible job capturing the energy and ambiance of the new songs. Algiers is full of the variety and dynamics that have long been associated with our band’s sound, including the instrumentation that we take with us on tour: trumpets, keyboards, vibraphone, steel guitar, acoustic bass, nylon string guitars and John’s vintage drums.  We’re really proud of our new album.

The video for Splitter has premiered.  Check it out!

You can now listen to the new album, Algiers streaming at the Calexico Facebook page.

We are excited to share “Splitter,” the first single off of the forthcoming album Algiers.  You can also view a stripped down live video of the song that was filmed in Algiers where the album was recorded.  Enjoy!
