Tell It To The Sun
In February 2009 the band found themselves in the studio with a bag full of new songs and other things.
A basement studio. A live set up. The warmth of Turkish rugs. Tracks laid down with a minimum of fuss. The session's effortlessly soulful performances are the product of the
Calico's rapport and their respect for many musical traditions.
The result is the band's latest album, Tell It To The Sun, which fuses Jimmy Calico's (Andrew Thorne) homespun intonation with Chet O'Connell's twanging Telecaster guitar...

Just bought the "God Left Town" EP today from Galaxy Records in Christchurch, and all I can say is-Andrew Thorne is a musical genius, great guitar pop, I like his previous band Splitter as well. Does anyone know how to get hold of his really old 1990s(I think) recordings under the band name Thorn, can't find them anywhere on the net. As an aside, great to see Jan Hellriegel's old band Cassandra's Ears have released their recordings-I'm too young to remember them, I was in my early teens when they came out, and thought indie rock was under-produced garbage at the time, thankfully my music tastes have broadened considerably with age!!!
