Caldecott’s Oakland-based roots rock hits with a satisfying crunch on their self-titled debut. While keeping the spirit of their Rock Bottom EP, it’s a polished step forward, aiming more towards the recent Bay Area where can i buy furosemide online garage rock scene than the hippie noodling of yore that one still associates with SF. It’s worth remembering that for all their Bayou affectations, Creedence Clearwater Revival came from the Bay Area, and Caldecott measures up in their straightforward approach. Venturing into the twisted songwriting sensibility of the Handsome Family on “Hoarder Of Love” and “Copy” establishes a difference from their peers. The twangy goodness of “Human Again” is the perfect entry point to an engaging straight-ahead rock endeavor.
