We’ve been meaning to post some wonderful music from Brighton quintet Calico for a while. Chris Martyr (keyboards and samples), Dan Nixon (guitar), Lewis Husband (trumpet), Vlad Matveikov (bass) and Graham Burgess (drums), who make up the band, create mind-blowing compositions blending each of its five members’ own musical territories, including jazz, electronica, folk, rock and classical.
Comes October 19th, Calico will release their self-titled debut EP via Small Pond. The effort “exhibits the band’s staggering vision, ambition and musicianship with their combined inventiveness and passion across keys and samples, brass and warped guitar sounds creating something that is tantalizingly refreshing”, says the press release.

‘Euphorism’ was the first marvellous single lifted from the upcoming EP and they have recently teased the album further with the glorious ‘Fold A Winning Hand’. Listen to both tracks below.
