About Me

Sounds Like Circles Feel, 2004.
From Spendidezine.com: "There's definitely something to be said for spacy pop that gets your head nodding. The fifth album in ten years from this Michigan outfit does that, and much more. Calliope nuzzle contentedly against post-rock and dream-pop, and flirt with electronica, showing remarkable restraint and good taste in their dalliances with each."
From Wire: "loping, jazzy grooves with gently crooned vocals in loose, fluid songs with a hint of noisier, more experimental textures."
From AMG: "Michigan's Calliope deftly combine the retro-futurism of Tortoise and Stereolab with '60s folk psychedelia riding waves of warm sound into a jazzy pop wonderland...."
