Callas, The -with Lee Ranaldo-
Trouble And Desire
The group worked with Lee Ranaldo on the soundtrack of their new feature film "The Great Eastern" and on their new full-length album, "Trouble and Desire" which is due for release on October, 26th 2018 on Inner Ear and Dirty Water Records. Their last two albums, "Am I Vertical?"and "Half Kiss, Half Pain" were produced by Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Lydia Lunch, The Cramps). "As multi-media artists and filmmakers, they approach music making from a very different perspective than the average musician and come up with some quite unexpected results," says Sclavunos. " The sonic palette of the new album is diverse and exploratory, with songs that range in style from dreamy subversive pop to brutal post-punk skronk to deconstructed rebetiko." Lee Ranaldo described his experience on collaborating with the Callas: "Its been a pleasure for me to know and collaborate with The Callas on their new album Trouble and Desire - we met a few years ago and Ive been drawn into their artistic world in Athens. Im a fan of their visual art tapestries and their art studio/venue and Ive been having a great time making music with these like-minded travelers. Our collaboration took off quickly and was such a natural fit - we speak the same language and the performances weve done together have been a total blast! I love the community of artists that they have gathered around them, and I hope we will do more collaborations in the future".
