Calla’s debut album was a striking blend of gutbucket riffs and sonic abstraction, standard rock instrumentation and electronic programming, big guitars and subtle ambient detailing. Scavengers, the New York-based threesome’s second CD, is less intriguing than the first disc, but it’s still compelling. Calla certainly craft fine melodies but their first concern seems to be sound itself. Guitarist Aurelio Valle, whose playing draws from dirty blues and Morricone soundtracks, is a master of tone and inflection. He can animate the simplest guitar parts with subtle inflections. That’s one reason the group can pull off something like “Hover over Nowhere,” a track in which the song gets left behind, only to be followed by a lovely and lengthy coda. Layering vocals on top of catchy guitar, “Tijerina” displays the group’s taste for dramatic grandeur. Scavengers (which was coproduced by Michael Gira) is a solid variation on the band’s first CD. It’ll be interesting to see where the group goes from here. –Fred Cisterna
