Calla

Calla is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Duane Eddy, Chet Atkins, Lee Ranaldo, Johnny Marr and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Those roots explain a lot about how Calla arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Karate, The American Analog Set, Blonde Redhead, The Appleseed Cast and Gravenhurst, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Yello, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Nina Persson and The Cardigans, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Calla, reaching back through Duane Eddy and forward to Yello.
