Description/Reviews
Early on in Chapel Perilous, the third psyched-out full-length album from Milwaukee’s Calliope, things slow down. “The Dunes” is a three-minute-plus drone of noise and feedback, with wisps of riffs and hints of rhythm fading in and out of the ether. Not that the album up to that point has been a breakneck dash—the tempo throughout skews heavily towards “lumbering”—but it’s a remarkable rest stop nonetheless. Forget what you’re doing, Calliope says, put on a pair of headphones, dim the lights, and let Chapel wash over you. Some further mood enhancers wouldn’t hurt, either.
