"
Scavengers" (2000, Young God Records) is Perhaps because of the to understand the presence of Michael Gira, that Callas's second album to date is her sharpest work. For similar Giras experimental folk project The Angels Of Light are their arrangements of a similar methodology, embossed, which provides the Desolate and spherical in their songs with an edgy, quirky touch. Their music is sometimes worn and flat, where brittle and translucent, are visited by an immense sense of melody of the singer Aurelio Valle. In the higher pitches, he suffers so beautifully, as once scarecrow and pain man Robert Smith, sometimes its deep, soft voice sounds so quiet and timid and that a melody line on first hearing might not even notice. Calla also have a sense of urgency in their music, something dark, driving, they are doing something that they are serious, you can feel it immediately - and they take time: it is this vague development of their pieces, which can wait for the phone first. Waiting for the something is. Although a very simple hand knitted remain, they are often in a ghostly mood, which sounds a bit like the eccentricity of the label, the album is then released. Since it does not fall further out of the frame, that her compositions often arise with advancing season ever raptured rauschig pictures, which open with subtle electronic drones, feedback, noise, whirring and grinding commonly short cutscenes. Nevertheless, understanding the New York band get over it easy to write compelling songs. Songs, although to crack a little more time consuming are, but the night is long. "Scavengers" is still probably the most intense, best album of the band. It should remain their only release on Young God Records label Giras, but when the really interested, but it is the content: ten songs, that have a powerful pull into the most beautiful sadness. Existential harshness and add a dark heat here together an outstanding piece of indie music.
