Calle Debauche (2009) info & reviews
“inventive arrangements — filled with quick-change stylistic curve balls enhanced by masterful production touches — are at the very least pleasing to the ear, and Calle Debauche are audaciously way outside the loop in even playing this kind of stuff in the 21st century United States.”
Dave Lynch – All Music Guide
“Some music is pleasant. Calle Debauche’s is downright amazing.”
Frank O. Gutch Jr. – Rock and Reprise
“Calle Debauche are quite strange. Americans with a French band name that take on influences from eastern European folk music…I think I am in love with this album, I really do.”
Jessica Nguyen – AW Music
“The tunes on this disc will bring a smile to your face and put a bounce in your step for the rest of the day.”
Glen Hall – Exclaim Magazine
“After all is said and done, you’re left speechless, knowing that it is impossible to label this music. Avant prog might be a pliable term, but a look at the band’s influences (Mercyful Fate, Cardiacs, Hamster Theatre, Cheer Accident and many more) show that Calle Debauche are unwilling to settle in a single territory. They even combine styles that feel irreconcilable into something that eventually works. It may seem unbelievable that these guys come from Arizona, but then it’s always the most unlikely places that are the fertile ground for new music.”
