Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding upon the frantic energy of his past projects, Tomas Kalnoky assembled an acoustic ensemble to record 'A Call to Arms', injecting punk rock tempos with elaborate orchestral and Eastern European folk instrumentation. The release served as a crucial testing ground for the expansive, brass-heavy arrangements that would eventually define Streetlight Manifesto.
