7Horse: Double Summertime Tour ft. The Music of dada

Some horses were always meant to run wild. Phil Leavitt and Joie Calio, the multi-instrumentalists behind 7Horse's self-described "postpunk dystopian blues," have been exploring unfenced territory together for 30 years.

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.
