Don't expect their Brooklyn locale to take the desert out of this bilingual duo's border rock. Layering achy Latin horns and portentous drum fills over an indie-rock sensibility, Chris Verene and Ani Cordero nearly out-Tucson Calexico themselves.
?This Brooklyn-based quintet is equally at home amongst the New York art rock scene or the vibrant Rock en Espanol movement, pegging both with heaping amounts of sassy spontaneity and sexy Latin stylings; the latter giving Cordero's sound and aesthetic nothing less than an undeniable romantic flair. Throw in their gutsy sensibilities and hold it all together with Ani Cordero's gatekeeper presence, and you've got a dead-sexy rock band that can set the scene for a golden desert sunset or a lusty encounter with a complete stranger.
