You thought cassettes were out of fashion, right? Well, post-rock types Her Name Is Calla are releasing their new EP The Heritage on cassette. Only 20 of them, too. So you’d better pre-order before the the 9th of June release date and dust off your ailing, yellow '80s Walkman.
Of course you can get the six swirly, swooping songs from this Leicester-via-Leeds band on CD too, but where’s the fun in that? Pre-order from their label, Gizeh Records.
Lo, the earnest quartet are also playing live. Watch out for flying drumsticks at these dates – word on the street is that they like to fling them around at the conclusion of their slightly manic live shows.
The dates of which are reproduced for your information, below:
March 21 Glasgow King Tuts (w/ The Twilight Sad) 22 Aberdeen Moshulu (w/ The Twilight Sad)
April 11 Leicester Squares 12 Oxford Wheatsheaf 16 Portsmouth The Havana 17 Brighton The Hope 18 Reading (TBC) 19 Chichester Chichester Inn 24 Leeds Trash 25 Preston Kolor
