Description

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.

So if I simply told you that the new Calla album, Televise, was "pretty," would you even know what the hell I meant? Pretty for you might be that song Eric Clapton wrote for his kid who fell out of the window. To me, that song is totally corny. I would cite Sonic Youth’s "Diamond Sea" as a great example of true beauty in music. But I suppose there’s a middle of the road. Somewhere between the simplicity of a pretty little pop song and the sprawling endlessness of absolute beauty of sonic landscapes, you’ll find Calla’s Televise. Oh, but the old cliche, Joe!

Calla have crafted a memorable, if not dark and atmospheric, album that at first sounds too basic to be enthralling, but upon repeated spins the listener is rewarded with new facets of musicianship. It's like crawling into your bed at night - you know it's familiar but it takes a few moments to find the comfort zone.
