Calla are back for real. The NYC trio broke a long silence in 2024 with "Pick Your Battles," their first new music since 2007's Strength In Numbers, and they haven't slowed down since. Then came the run of singles: "Killer On The Rampage," "Sinnerman," "Ritualized," "Your Worst Enemy." Each one a small stunner.
Now the payoff. Calla have announced De Facto, their sixth studio album and their first in 19 years. That is a long time to sit with the shadowy, slow-burn textures that made records like Televise so special. The wait is basically over.
The announcement lands with a new single called "Paralyzed," and it carries all the moody atmosphere that defined their early-2000s work. This is a band that always understood tension: the space between notes, the dread lurking under the hooks.
Nineteen years is a lifetime in indie rock. Calla spent it well.
De Facto is coming, and "Paralyzed" is your first taste. Go hear it.
