Among contemporaries, Calla now stand alone, making dark, beautiful, intensely understated music that's as much landscape as narrative story.
-
MojoCalla aren't only as unique as NYC new wave gets... but beautifully tense too. [Feb 2006, p.103]
-
It is the closest you’ll get to The Bends in 2005.
-
The breakthrough record where Calla go from a whisper to a scream.
-
Dramatic and dark.
-
They still get a thumbs up in the sonic department, and their songwriting is certainly to my liking; but that quality of elusiveness that made their prior albums a journey of discovery seems to be missing.
-
It sounds as if the band's batteries are steadily running out. Confidence ebbs, emotions run flat, the songs become more and more inconsequential.
