Oscillating between haunting desert noirs and buoyant jolts of cumbia, Calexico recently announced their 10^th studio album El Mirador (ANTI-) out April 8th, and today they are sharing the album track “Harness The Wind”, which features backing vocals from Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam.

“When we recorded “Harness the Wind” it felt like we tapped into a spark of bright light and positivity,” said singer and Calexico co-founder Joey Burns. “Everything fell together quickly and naturally. With the shiny electric guitar weaving in and out of John and Sergio’s propelling drums and bass, the song always had a vibe that stood out from the other songs. We sent the tracks to Sam Beam to add his vocals on the chorus which made the tune float even more. It’s a song about hope and sharing compassion to fellow travelers and dreamers who are trying to find their way.”
