Calexico - Garden Ruin
One of the most disappointing albums of 2006. Calexico had been moving away from alt-rock and towards a more mellow pop sound, but until now had the good sense to stay away from Loggins-land.
Unfortunately, with 2006's entry, Calexico has apparently decided that their target market is fans of Dan Fogelberg who thought he was moving too much in a punk direction. Only a few tracks, such as "Letter to Bowie Knife," display the chops and imagination that made 2003's Feast of Wire so good. Here's hoping that the record sells poorly, so that Burns and Convertino can get back to a more interesting style.
