Calf

Calf is a post rock/noise band formed in Athens in 2009. Their music is a complicated mixture that can sometimes reach the edge, as you can notice in any single track of their debut album.

Their music combines peaceful melodies that are suddenly transformed in energetic and even violent sounds.

Their first album “A Constant Loss Departs from the Sentiment of the Abandoned” saw the light of day on 2011, produced by Aris Christou, who has formelly worked with many significant alternative greek rock bands (Closer, Bocomolech etc.)

As you listen to this release, you are greeted with a score of variant tunes which range from being aggressively epic and fast to completely droning, depressive and melancholic. All presented atmospheres flow in an excellent manner, yet along the way they manage to morph into something completely unexpected. [natureswithnoplagues.blogspot.gr]
