Calexico by C.J. Strehlow
Calexico recently released their ‘El Mirador’ album.
Calexico have shared a brand new track entitled Rambler.
The country twang of the single is inspired by the Pacific Northwest travels of Joey Burns.
“Throughout these travels I kept seeing ghosts looking for someone to sing their stories,” Burns said. “When John (Covertino) and I met up to record, the music came together in a flash, and you can feel that spark of spontaneity between the acoustic guitar and drums when you listen.
“Later on we added some slide guitar (Connor Gallaher) and backing vocals (Luke Ydstie) to build splashes of color and character.”
It’ll be the east coast that’s the focus when the band embark on a tour of the US during October.
