As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, it's the perfect moment to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of 'In the Reins'. This collaborative EP between Calexico and Iron & Wine is best experienced during those twilight hours when the day's bustle fades and introspection takes hold.
Sam Beam's poetic songwriting shines throughout the seven tracks, with his introspective lyrics finding a beautiful counterpoint in Calexico's expansive instrumentation. The EP's recording at Wavelab Studio in Tucson, Arizona, infuses the music with a subtle desert ambiance that perfectly complements the blend of folk rock and Tex-Mex influences.
From the contemplative strains of 'He Lays in the Reins' to the more spirited 'Burn That Broken Bed', 'In the Reins' takes listeners on a journey through varying emotional landscapes. The harmonious collaboration between these two indie powerhouses resulted in an EP that resonates with both intimacy and grandeur, capturing the essence of a shared musical vision in the fading light of day. -
