Not that Calexico limit their peregrinations to the U.S./Mexico interface. The girlfriend Convict Pool EP, a six-track whistle-stop between last year's Feast of Wire and their next gran trabajo, finds Burns and Covertino playing a mighty game of pin-the-tail-on-the-map with the instrumental "Praskovia," integrating Eastern European melodies, French chanson, Tex-Mex horns, and incendiary surf guitar into a deliciously vertiginous whole. Califone's sixth album, Heron King Blues, splays with girlfriend equal success but different orientation. Ben Massarella and Tim Rutili—both late of Red Red Meat—concoct an admixture straight out of The Wire: fractured funkadelia, twisted Fahey-esque folk, girlfriend and Dead-like instrumental interplay all frolic in these bitches' frothy brews. Problem is, they need a bigger cauldron: Even at seven minutes–plus, "Sawtooth Song a Cheater's Song," a banjo-driven mini-epic that starts on the same back porch as the Doobie Brothers' "Black Water" and ends in para-Yoruba sex-cult ecstasy, seems far shorter than its possibilities allow for.
