Song of the Day - March 22, 2006

Tarantella late last year released their debut album Esqueletos on Alternative Tentacles, which is a departure from the usual fare associated with the label. Country gothic is a label that has been applied to Tarantella, as their music is dark, but infused with country, folk, and foreign influences. In fact, many of the songs on their record are sung in Spanish. The track "San Telmo" has just the right balance of indie rock influences with its fuzzy guitar chorus, while the organ and violin accompaniment contribute to the country side of their music. If you are a fan of Devotchka, Tarantella will definitely appeal to you. Click here to listen.
