Originally hailing from the Appalachians, Calypso consists of Samantha Richman, Sheets Tucker and Jackson Scott (whose album Melbourne was hailed as a slice of “indie genius” when Fat Possum released it back in 2013). His new group is less spectral pop than psyched-out, vaguely menacing grunge that squeals with guitar histrionics and purrs like a young Courney Love. Calypso’s first EP, Oracle, will be released on cassette and digital formats come January 27 via the French label Atelier Ciseaux.
