Sometimes a song gets so woven into my cortex that it brings me joy to sing along to the synapse frequency and melancholy to think that no one can hear the tenor of the joy that it brings.
So download this, fuckers!
DOWNLOAD: Calexico - "Alone Again Or"
Comments from Drowned in Sound, and hello to newest reader and Portland friend KellyMo.
Drowned in Sound - Reviews - Singles - Calexico - Alone Again Or: "What with the current appreciation for the dusty doom of sixties anti-hippies Love, this cover of ‘Alone Again Or’ is a deservedly attention-attracting if not slightly zeigtgeist-y release by Calexico.
Fortunately its a wonderful take on a classic song; crossing the American border, it’s a taco-flavoured mariachi effort with a beautiful trumpet weaving its patterns with free abandon over the top, underpinned by tequila-soaked guitars and percussion. It combines tasy tex-mex drama with a hazy, widescreen outlook, and is really rather great.
