About

Call And Response (C.A.R.) are a female fronted outfit from Santa Barbara, Calif., who reside in the Bay Area. Their Velcro-catchy songs are graced with bubbling analog synthesizers, stony drones, modular oscillations, 1960s-style guitar leads and tight, soaring female harmonies. Though rooted in the past, their music style is also forward-looking and innovative, and would perfectly suit the Duophonic label. The song "Colors" blends analog Orchestral Pop with Folk-Rock harmonies reminiscent of what was going on in the canyon rock scene of Los Angeles during the late '60s and early '70s. Imagine Buffalo Springfield getting hijacked by Stereolab -- it's better than the great taste of chocolate and peanut butter mixed together. In short, they rip.
