About
Wall of Voodoo's second album, <i>Call of the West</i>, will forever be linked with its hit single "Mexican Radio": a winningly woozy trip south of the border and one of the new wave era's defining tunes. But there's a lot more to this record. The moody "Lost Weekend" feels as much like an Elmore Leonard story as a pop song, and if David Lynch ever directed a western, the title track could be its theme. And while there's an abundance of synth riffs and drum machines (it was the '80s, after all), guitarist Marc Moreland's desert-dry licks lend the whole thing an Ennio Morricone–style spaghetti western edge that helped set the band apart from the synth-pop pack.
