{"product_id":"spoke","title":"Spoke","description":"\u003cp\u003eRepressed on vinyl for the first time in along time. \u003ci\u003eSpoke\u003c\/i\u003e is the debut studio album of Calexico, from Arizona. The back cover photo of \u003ci\u003eSpoke\u003c\/i\u003e is a furrowing farm machine, and in the context of this recording, one might imagine clouds of birds following the machinery to eat up the disturbed insects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalexico snatch up the bits of Americana turned out by a rototilling of the national music psyche. The 19 resultant tracks can be small as insects (the shortest being half a minute in length) and erratic in flight; there are lo-fi songs and themes that proceed without concern for what came before. One bit is held up by guitar, another by accordion, then one by vibes. A bit of desert dust sprinkled throughout may be the only constant theme - a Santa Fe rummage sale of sounds. \u003ci\u003eSpoke\u003c\/i\u003e is very intriguing and well worth exploring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quarterstick Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50490873708875,"sku":"272283","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/61e39a46-800d-466d-ad0b-f3f636eb48ab_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727677730","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/spoke","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
