In the Reins
“Sam Beam teams with the Southwest’s Calexico on a seven-track mini-album that ranks with anything either act has done on its own.”
Years to Burn
“The title of Calexico and Iron & Wine’s new album, Years to Burn, feels like a cheeky acknowledgment of the decade and change that have elapsed since they first worked together on the 2005 EP In the Reins. Back then, Sam Beam wrote and recorded somber folk songs from the safety of his bedroom, notching his belt with two EPs and two albums at the start of his career; he authored all of In the Reins”
Years to Burn
“It took more than a decade to follow up In the Reins, but its successor reveals musicians who’ve learned to corral swarms of instruments and styles into a newly complex sound.”
In the Reins
“There are some truly enjoyable moments on Calexico's latest--but they're vastly overshadowed by at turns annoying or just boring tracks, bogged down in an overly long record.”
