Seus dois principais componentes são Joey Burns e John Convertino, que tocaram juntos pela primeira vez em Los Angeles como parte do grupo Giant Sand. Eles gravaram alguns álbuns no Quarterstick Records, enquanto seu album de 2005 In the Reins, que contou com a coloboração de Iron & Wine, alcançava a Billboard. Burns e Convertino colaboraram também com Lisa Germano e Howe Gelb no OP8, complilando também o album Slush em 1997.

CG Alberto hits his brother on the back of the head C looks to the north as he starts to get up G his brother's still sleepy grumbles it's not light yet C if you want a new life what's a few minutes wait
FC darkness on the road and over the land GC into the laws and out of the hands F from those with so much C and no show of heart G you'd think it'd be crazy CGCGC to ask for a small part
G spotted an eagle in the middle of a lake C resting on cactus and feasting on snakes G but the waters recede as the dump closes in C revealing a whole lake of sleeping children
FC poison in the stream that flows to the sea GC out on the waves that crash within reach F of those with so much C and so little to fear G you'd think it'd be crazy C to be so far away yet so near
DmFC some say a new day will shine here DmFEF over these catastrophes and horrors of misfortune C all across the wire
CG Alberto y Hermano on the coyote's trail C and dodging the border patrol G out in the wastelands wandering for days C the future looks bleak with no sign of change
F darkness in the eye C and down in the soul G all across the wire C to those in control F holding so much C with no show of heart G you think it'd be crazy C to watch it all fall apart FGC watch it all fall apart
