2003's Televise was by no means a poor album from Calla, but it often
seemed too resigned and, occasionally, downright deflated. When the songs
on 2001's Scavengers operated at a low-energy level, they at least had a
smoldering, shadowy allure. On Collisions, the band wipes the sleep out of
its eyes and produces a set of songs that is more inspired and vital, even
if it's equally embittered and dejected. The added oomph -- faster riffs
here and there, stop-start rhythms, terse vocal phrasings -- is bound to
cause some comparisons to fellow New York band Interpol. However, each one
of the characteristics has been in Calla all along. It's only now that
they're being exposed to this extent (while the electronic undercurrents of
old are made all but completely invisible), and the move results in the
band's second-best album to date.
