The Thread That Keeps Us, by Calexico (2018)
"I wanted to hear what you had to say but there was too much talking over...each other"
I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest that all of us have been feeling pushed apart for a long time. We can all point to a different time or event that seems to be when things started to slide into chaos - and sometimes it’s hard to figure out how to tame that chaos and find a way back to some sense of “normal.” (Especially given that “normal” wasn’t that great for a lot of us.)
Fortunately, there are artists out there with a knack for addressing our fears and giving us art that can help us get past them.
Calexico has been there for us for a couple of decades, but their 2018 album feels especially suited to this era we’re dealing with.
