How does the land where we are from shape each of us? How do we reconcile the beauty and the failings of where we are from with the people we become?
Melbourne (Australia) based songwriter Clive Casey draws on the experience of living in various countries including rural and outback Australia where he spent part of his formative years. Pinche País (pronounced: Pinch-eh Pay-is) is an album in which the influence of the parched earth of the Australian continent features as both a backdrop and an undeniable authority on the lives of the characters throughout the album.
Its Spanish title is “Chilango” slang of Mexico City where Clive lived for several years. “¡Qué triste mi pinche país!", “How sad, my fucking country!” Casey would hear, in response to another disappearance, murder or rumour of corruption.
"¿Qué vamos a hacer con este pinche país?", “What are we going to do with this fucking country?”. Across nine songs Casey expresses how we all have ambivalent relationships with our fucking country, wherever it is. The lands Casey visits, both literal and literary, tell stories of the same frustrations and laments but also love for the places that help form us.
