Her Name Is Calla are a four-piece from the U.K., and although they are still newcomers to this scene (in terms of their recorded output, that is), their previous output has been received very warmly.  As with so many of the bands emerging today, it’s rather hard to put a specific label on them; the heavy use of vocals prevents one from calling them “instrumental” or “post-rock,” but the long song times and absence of traditional structure means that one can’t really label them “indie” either.  So, I suppose it will have to suffice to refer to them as a rock band with guitars, bass, drums, plenty of experimentation, and more spirit and enthusiasm than you can shake a stick at...Her Name Is Calla is a brilliant band with an even more brilliant future ahead of them.  This album comes extremely recommended.
