7Horse - Dirty White Boy

7Horse - “The Last Resort”
 
Phil Leavitt and Joie Calio, the multi-instrumentalists behind 7Horse's self-described "post-punk dystopian blues," have been exploring unfenced territory together for 30 years. Kickstarting their partnership as members of dada — the platinum-selling alt-rockers behind '90s hits like "Dizz Knee Land" — they now pack a different punch with 7Horse, blurring the lines between '70s-sized rock & roll, Vegas showbiz glitz, and bluesy grit. It's a sound rooted in groove and Gretsch guitars, rhythm and riffs, desert-rock crunch and cinematic sweep.
 
7Horse's fifth album, The Last Resort, offers a snapshot of a boundary-breaking band in evolution. Since launching the band in 2011, Leavitt and Calio have saluted the glory days of American rock & roll both onstage and in the studio. Here, they make room for international flourishes, too. There's the bilingual bounce of "Non Sono Un Ragazzo," which finds drummer/frontman Leavitt recounting the band's introduction to film legend Martin Scorsese (who memorably used 7Horse's career-launching track "Meth Lab Zoso Sticker" in The Wolf of Wall Street) in both English and Italian. There's the Latin beat of "Hey Vámonos!," where flamenco guitars, polyphonic rhythm, and four-on-the-floor stomp all swirl together. 
 
At its core, though, The Last Resort charts its own musical geography - an open armed panorama of Western sound that targets the head, the heart and the hips.
