CALLA are from Texas, and moved to NYC a few years ago. The music is slow and slinky, with deep bass and lots of space and atmosphere. The grooves have a swampy, narcotized-Cajun feel, with hollow-body-twang guitar that snakes and erupts through the mix with signature lines - Morricone-like sometimes, but more authentically American - very bluesy, dramatic, and spacious.

With previous albums on Young God and Arena Rock, this is CALLA's debut release on Beggars. Having already formed a core NYC fan base, toured with Interpol, Nick Cave, and countless others, the band will begin their headlining tour this fall. "As the carcass of garage rock gets picked over by major label vultures, CALLA's latest carpet bombs the indie malaise.

Calla's third effort encompasses their signature experimental raw sound. Written and recorded while on tour abroad and in their hometowns, the band had a chance to focus on their collections of field recordings for this release. They've created their own identity, while at the same time have been compared to Nick Cave and Low.

Televise is Calla's third album of strange, noise-infected indie pop. Static-filled drones hover and pulse and function in the way a rhythm section would in a traditional rock outfit. The band builds itself carefully around the electronics contributed by bassist/keyboardist Sean Donovan and drummer Wayne Magruder.
