Kalandra, Beneath The Breaking Waves. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There can surely be no argument that Norwegian band Kalandra have been utterly missed in their former adopted home of Liverpool, the sound of the ethereal and the dominating unearthly beauty that resonated throughout their live performances in the city was always a huge pleasure to catch on a night when the world seemed out of kilter or when the heavens were just in the right position to make anything else in the world, for a short while, seem imaginary and not visible.

Kalandra, What Do You Know About Love. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The spectre of the fairy tale lives in all us, arguably we like nothing more than being thrilled by the chase of the wolf as its bristling hair is ruffled by the wind and the scent in its nostrils in enhanced by the perfume of Red Riding Hood and the opportunity to save the fable from those who only live to play games, those who seek solace in the pixel and the rising of the console.

Kalandra, Love You Right. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Loving someone is not good enough unless it’s done with sheer enthusiasm, complete abandon and with the ability to acknowledge that perfection is a state of mind that deceives and plays cruel tricks on the heart whilst the mind allows its own measure of deceiving to take place. Loving someone is no good, as the adopted Liverpool band Kalandra are at excellent pains to point out in their latest single, unless the chance to Love You Right is seized.

Kalandra, Gig Review. L.I.P.A, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision 9/10

Whether you like your music to be organic, to have flowed from the streets that straddle the River Mersey in some age old ritual acknowledgement to the flower and testimony of Liverpool upbringing or to have had the chance to have been guided and nurtured to hone the craft of writing, what you cannot fail to miss is the passion that flows through each tempting note of either camp.
