CALLA - Press Press for "Televise" http://users.vei.net/eacherhundreds/eh101-calla-reviews.htm Selected Calla reviews >>Blending the pillowy noise of My Bloody Valentine with the guttural digressions of Nick Cave, Calla is leading the race for the title of the American Radiohead - From The Gear 100 Most Exciting People, Places and Things on the Planet:Gear Magazine (Jan/Feb 02)
>>So what makes these ridiculously depressive U2-covering no-engergy Texas-born Brooklyn art-geeks and Michael Gira associates, who look and sound like they're falling asleep to the stupid Nick Cave records they were raised on, tolerable? No dude, it's not that they're "rilly intense". More likely it's that they've got melodies. Plus the singing and Kraut-spaghetti effects suggest a VW repairman left to die alone at high noon in the Mexican desert, perhaps ? - From Village Voice (June 19, 2001)
>>transcendent - Mike Wolf / Time Out New York, pick of the week (May 18, 2001)
>>Beneath its faint ghost melodies and woozily chugging rhythms lies a kind of soft heartache that alternates between states of grace and desperation. Minimalist yearning never sounded so good. - Colin Helms / CMJ New Music Report, Issue: 703 (Feb 26, 2001)
>>#1 Band You Need To Know in 2001 - Todd Hutlock /Alternative Press (March 2001)
