OVERVIEW:
On November 21, City Slang will release a limited edition, hand numbered, vinyl box set containing all of Calexico’s self‐
released tour albums. The vinyl albums, combined with a 40 page book and a digital download coupon are housed in a
heavy duty, linen wrapped, screen‐printed slip case.

Only 1,100 of these box sets will be available worldwide; with 500 of them to be released in Europe.

During the past 14 years, Calexico have self‐released eight tour CDs. These tour CDs, pressed in limited quantities, have
been made available only at Calexico’s live concerts. Comprised of recordings not included on any of Calexico’s
“official” releases, these tour CDs have served to chart the alternative listening history behind the “official” releases;
offering a career spanning look at the evolution of Calexico. All of these tour CDs have now been re‐mastered for vinyl
by JJ Golden. To maintain the highest audio fidelity, the eight CDs have been pressed as twelve (YES 12) pieces of vinyl
(4 single albums and 4 double albums) for inclusion in the Road Atlas 1998‐2011 box set.

The 40‐page, 12" x 12", perfectly‐bound book included with the Road Atlas 1998‐2011 box set contains extensive liner
notes written by Fred Mills, along with many photos and handwritten notes and sketches from the band. Each
hand‐numbered box set also comes with a digital download coupon for access to MP3s of all twelve albums plus extra
bonus tracks.

Based in Tucson, AZ, the band, mostly known for their “Southwest” sound and vibe, has actually been a melting pot
of various musical styles. Calexico effortlessly slide from world music to country/Americana to indie rock and jazz;
sometimes all in the course of one song!

The recordings contained in Road Atlas 1998‐2011 showcase the lack of boundaries the band has held themselves to
over the course of last fifteen years. In total the band have released six full‐length albums, six original material tour
albums (and two live tour albums), five EPs (one a collaboration with Iron & Wine), and a live DVD. Additionally, they
have performed and recorded with notable musicians such as Andrew Bird, Neko Case, Amos Lee, Nancy Sinatra, Glen Hansard, and many more.
