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.

'wether ritualized or not, art contains the rationality of negation. in its advanced positions, it is the great refusal- the protest against that which is. the modes in which man and things are made to appear, to sing and sound and speak, are modes of refuting, breaking and recreating their factual existence. but these modes of negation pay tribute to the antagonistic society to which they are linked. separated from the sphere of labor where society reproduces itself and its misery, the world of art which they create remains, with all its truth, a privilege and an illusion.'
