Calva Louise – Interlude for the Borderline
Calva Louise - EP
Unsettled EP
(Ditto Music)
Release Date: Out Now
The superb Mancunian trio Calva
Louise have finally unleashed their new EP upon the world and it really is the
Christmas treat we’ve all been waiting for. ‘Interlude for the Borderline
Unsettled’ is four tracks of musical exploration that I would thoroughly recommend
you defecate before embarking on, it’s in everyone’s best interests. Opening
with excellent recent single ‘Belicoso’, Calva Louise go directly for the
jugular with their laser eyes and fire breathing Medusa head snakes (aka
driving drums, intense vocals and the kind of guitars that you could fry an egg
on). ‘Sleeper’ sounds like Muse being produced by Lizzo with the Flaming Lips
and Bjork hanging out rolling Camberwell Carrots on a beaten-up leather sofa
and that’s a party we all want to be invited too, right?
There’s a darker, more intense
mood on ‘Adelante’ which takes the malevolently impish vocals of Jess Allanic
and sets it to a brooding guitar line that the Arctic Monkeys would be very interested
in if they found it hanging out on a street corner. Normally, I don’t much care
for remixes on EPs but the Strange Bones Remix of ‘Belicoso’ turns the track in
to something akin to a DeadMau5 reworking of a Sleigh Bells and Princess
Superstar duet and it is probably the most danceable rock track you’ve heard
this lifetime. Calva Louise look at the world differently and I love how the
way they look sounds. It feels good in my ears and other areas too but this is
a family show so, y’know, use your imagination.
