On paper, London, ON’s Cordcalling have a lot in common with The White Stripes. The male/female guitar/drum duo plays loud, blues-influenced rock; however, the similarities largely end there.
Cordcalling’s somewhat experimental approach allows them to work a lot of sound into tight two-piece compositions. The husband and wife duo of Denise and Brian Conway take their songs in any number of directions. “What I Have” boasts a country-blues feel while “When I Scream” contains a lot more garage and punk.
The pair recently recorded their debut full-length, Obsessed By The Light, which followed a well-received three-song EP. While Cordcalling have a lot of experience playing to London’s healthy music scene, they’re hoping the strength of their new songs will give them the opportunity to tour outside of their hometown, exposing them to new audiences. The band’s willingness to incorporate a wide-range of influences into their sound is a bit of a risky endeavour. And while the band occasionally misses the mark, there is enough done right to demonstrate that the young band is developing what promises to be an exciting approach to music.
