Red Rum Club – Calexico

| Red Rum Club - Calexico |
Strangely, although this track is
infused Latin American melodies, horns and vibes there’s also a very distinct
Liverpudlian accent at work in the vocals here and that creates the kind of
sound I haven’t heard since Space were big players. Liverpool chancers Red Rum
Club have got the Mariachi bug on ‘Calexico’ with the kind of horns you would
only hear on a Doritos advert or the opening credits of ‘Strictly…’ but it
works. Throw in that aforementioned accent, some serious indie-pop chops and a
chorus so full of desperation and passion that Ricky Martin would be all over
it and you’ve got yourself one catchy little number. It’s a melting pot of
flavours, styles and influences but isn’t that what musicians from Liverpool
have always done best? Spoiler: yes it is.
