Calamity is the fourth album by Californian pop band the Curtains, released in 2006 on Asthmatic Kitty. It was recorded directly after Deerhoof's "The Runners Four". The album is exclusively produced by Chris Cohen. It features guest performances by Nedelle Torrisi and Yasi Perera (vocal harmonies), as well as trombone by John Ringhofer.[6]
The album's music is mostly composed of compressed guitars, piano and drums; the instrumentation has been described as "nondescript"[7] and "delicate".[8] It is classified as indie rock, although songs contain other elements such as psychedelic rock, jazz, and experimental.[9]
