ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Calla was formed in New York City in 1997 by Aurelio Valle (guitar, vocals), Sean Donovan (bass, keyboards, programming), and Wayne B. Magruder (percussion, programming). However, the band's origins can be traced to Texas in 1993, where Valle and Magruder began performing together in the Denton band the Factory Press. The band relocated to New York in 1995, recording The Smoky Ends of a Burnt out Day with producers Kid Congo Powers and Matt Verta-Ray. The group split in 1997 and the album was not released until early 1998, by which time Valle and ...[more]

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.

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.
