This seven track EP is the latest offering from Calexico, American purveyors of desert-noir rock. Joey Burns and John Convertino, the brains behind Calexico have delivered an EP that serves almost as a showcase for just what this Arizona based band can offer.

Calexico switch seamlessly from the simmering anguish in the tormented falsetto melodies and eerie haunting strings of title-track

Black Heart to flamenco style Quattro and back again finishing with a live performance of Black Heart with Attack El Robot! Attack!, up-tempo Pepita and a third version of Black Heart completing the track listing.

In Black Heart, Calexico have presented an EP that is as memorable for its diversity as its melodies. Its only downfall may be that three versions of Black Heart may be a little unnecessary. The EP featuring the above exclusive b-sides and remixes is released on April 19th
