plus44kaligula

“Cally Statham’s music sounds like an alien cyborg discovering the works of later era Scott Walker, Laurie Anderson and David Bowie from a stray distorted single, then attempting to replicate it with her own bio-organic technology.”
Jasper Wilems, Beats Per Minute, 2024

Raised between the rock of British icons David Bowie and Annie Lennox, and on screen legends such as Daniel Day Lewis, plus44Kaligula’s creation is a deadpan, surrealist landscape where ego and identity collapse, evoking the worlds of Rene Magritte and Yorgos Lanthimos. Her latest release is full of philosophical musings and anthropological anecdotes about where we come from, the simplification of historical context in societal discourse, the fact that this is not new, and whether we are still doomed to repeat ourselves.
