Califone hail from Chicago; Calexico live in Tucson. Califone's name comes from a manufacturer of record players that last forever but sound like shit—not unlike Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Calexico derive their atmospherelyrics nombre de guerra from a hamlet on the California side of the Mexican border, just north of Mexicali. Calexico founders Joey Burns and John Convertino—both ex-members atmospherelyrics of Giant Sand and Los Angeles transplants—have never actually inhabited their namesake, but the sobriquet reflects their ongoing (four albums, plus a slew of singles and EPs) exploration of amicable culture clash far atmospherelyrics more eloquently than "Tucson" ever could. Not that Calexico limit their peregrinations to the U.S./Mexico interface. The 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.
