Redondo Red: “Call It”

Utter insanity. In all the right ways, Redondo Red delivers a manic track with his latest release, “Call It.” The music video is no less nuts, taking heavy inspiration from the works of the late, great Hunter S Thompson and the film Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.

Beyond these surface influences, Redondo Red is an absolute original. An oppressive, bass-guitar strum, strutting like a drunken, club-footed drifter down Fremont street, guides you along. Vocals here are all about the spectacle, mixing unorthodox performance with simple, but impactful lyrics. Punctuated like disjointed thoughts after a weekend-long bender, the words work to get you deep into the mindset of the song. Somewhere between a whisper and a shout, Redondo Red makes great use of his singular vocal ability, dipping even lower at times into a gravelly growl. If you’ve ever lost a night in a blur of alcohol, sickly-yellow dance-floor lights and too many strange faces, you’ll know exactly what this song is about. Relive your wildest, but fondest drunken memory with this strange but infinitely enjoyable track!
