Here his catchy finger-picked guitar, undeniable melody, and poetic lyrics stood unadorned, in a highlight of the set.Calexico’s reappearance for a final set with Beam was a fitting cap to the night. The two groups faithfully reproduced most of their collaborative “In the Reins” EP, from the dreamy nostalgia...

The blue house is a summer place that, after the season ends and the suitcases bang closed and the car doors slam shut, falls silent. Or does it? Banks' poetic text and Hallensleben's richly impastoed paintings guide us through the deserted rooms, evoking the dripping of a kitchen faucet, the buckling and crackling of frost on the windows, the ruffling of a cat shaking snowflakes from its fur, even the silence of a bird sitting on its nest...
