Calexico have released their nostalgic new track, “Rambler”, a nod to some of their earliest work, today. Inspired by co-founding band member Joey Burns’ time spent in the Northwest, from Idaho and Montana to Oregon and Washington, the song can be heard now below.
“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.”
Next month the band will embark on a tour of the East coast, performing in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Washington DC and more. All upcoming dates are listed below.
