Calexico’s Joey Burns and John Convertino wrote and recorded the new LP at longtime bandmate Sergio Mendoza’s home studio in Tucson, Arizona. “El Mirador is dedicated to family, friends and community,” Burns said of the album in a statement. “The pandemic highlighted all the ways we need each other, and music happens to be my way of building bridges and encouraging inclusiveness and positivity. That comes along with sadness and melancholy, but music sparks change and movement.”
El Mirador marks Calexico’s 10th studio album, following their 2020 Christmas record Seasonal Shift.
