I first came across Her Name is Calla on the Drowned in Sound forum, I wasn't sure why I'd never crossed paths with Calla before - they supported Trains in 2007 so they must have been somewhere near my radar, clearly I must walk around with my head in the trees. Until recently that is.
When I took a peek on their MySpace page I instantly fell in love.
Their slow burning atmospheric tracks are nothing short of beautiful works of art. Stark, sombre percussion and desolate vocals with heart-pounding emotional peaks, my words are struggling to describe the songs, just listen, you will not regret it:
Listen to the majestic beauty of 'Thief' below:

and 'Pour More Oil':

'The Quiet Lamb' is available for pre-order now (released 8th November) - Mine is going in tonight.
To match the beauty of the material, the vinyl and CD box set both look beautiful. Look:
And if that wasn't enough, you can download the previous releases by Her Name is Calla (The mini-album 'The Heritage' and EP 'Long Grass') for free from the same site.
Expect me to post about Calla again once I've had time to digest this new masterpiece.
