Road Music – Disc#2
The 1975 by The 1975.
One the great things about driving around in your own motor is of course that you have a stereo to blare out the sounds. As such, from Punta Arenas we plunged our newly collected Wicked Camper-van south – on route to Ushuaia – and immediately set about getting tunes selected to accompany the epic roads this journey offered.
On The Border
A period that lives with me is the stretch of road immediately south of the San Sebastian border crossing into Argentina, on the way to a bush camp spot on sea front promenade at Rio Grande. The road on the Chilean side of the border had been wash board dreadful but the Argentines had sorted their Ruta 3 – tarmac, flowing curves and a setting sun accompanied by the somewhat 1980’s sounding The 1975 and their album of the same name.
The 1975 had been one of the last bands we saw at Rock City in Nottingham before we left England and despite a dodgy aux cable alternating the sound in the van from stereo to mono at a drop of a hat, their easy going softy rock rang out across Terra Del Fuego
