 "100 new bands you need to know in 2001" Calla featured as number one. -Alternative Press.

“Calla's dulcet gloom oozes with fiery foreboding. Scavengers played down the cul- ture clash in favor of strong melodies. On Televise (imagine Beck's Mutations injected into Radiohead's OK Computer) Party- ing can be such sweet sorrow. - Yancey Strickler | VILLAGE VOICE 

"These three Texans, now resident in New York, have produced a startling collection of Low-end industrial blues fed through a grainy veil of electronics." -Wire

"Is it too early to start talking about Album Of The Year? Records like this don't come around too often" -i-D

"A numbing chill sets in as the gloomy, weathered beauty of this album begins to come to the fore. Valle's voice chokes and cracks breathlessly just above the mix; cymbal washes slowly tranquilize the listener. This is undeniably what Calla does best." -Pitchfork

"The group's second LP, then, is a sweetly stinging smack in the face. From the start, with the stellar "Fear of Fireflies," it's clear that the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Texas trio is shedding more skin than the snakes they grew up around." -Pitchfork
