Having extricated themselves from that unhealthy codependent relationship with Iron & Wine (they're just friends now), Calexico are celebrating the single life by scheduling a whole bunch of shows in support of their latest album, Garden Ruin, out now on Touch and Go.

The Tucson troop will hit New York City's Central Park Summerstage and Lollapalooza before embarking on a four-month tour that flip-flops between America and Europe, keeping up a hellish pace (think the "grueling" setting in Oregon Trail) all the way through early November. It's a good thing they don't have oxen.
