âThe Cambiata are a band just about every true music lover should freak over, be they classically inclined or math rockers or old school be-boppers. The band projects so much intensity as though every note was an agonizing decision and yet was the only one that could have ever existed in that moment.â - Sam Pfeifle of The Portland Phoenix

ââ¦young guys with a surprising array of eclectic influences from a wide palate of genresâ¦vocalist Chris Moulton, just incredibleâ - Mark Curdo of WCYY

ââ¦performance is less of a rock show and more of a hypnotismâ¦players all sway and sweat, singing along and getting caught up in the current of the music.â - MaineToday

ââ¦their songwriting technique showed, pulling as much from academics as from the rock sphere.â - Chad Chamberlain of The Portland Phoenix

âThe band has been playing gigs since 2004, toured around the country a couple of timesâ¦interest from record labels.â - Portland Press Herald

ââ¦the most technically accomplished group in town.â - Christopher Gray + Deirdre Fulton of The Portland Phoenix

ââ¦crooning vocals (think somewhere between Daniel Johns and a young Daryl Palumbo)â¦with influences like The Beatles, Radiohead, Silverchair, and Jeff Buckley.â â www.weworemasks.com

ââ¦smart rock ruffians, The Cambiata.â - Arts Guide Portland


The Cambiata are an indie alternative rock band from outside Portland, Maine. The band is composed of Chris Moulton (vocals), Sean Morin (rhodes, piano, guitar, loops), Miguel Barajas (ambient lead guitar, loops), Stan Dzengelewski (bass guitar), and Dan Capaldi (drums, percussion, xylophone). Their music and lyrics are moody, dynamic and filled with tension. They sometimes incorporate strings, horns, and other orchestral instruments into their songs.

Formed in 2004, they originally started out as a heavy experimental band. They incorporated elements of jazz, post-hardcore, metal, and pop into their music sometimes all in one song. In 2006 they released their debut album Into The Night. It was very popular locally especially the song âShards of Pornographyâ. The band went through line-up and style changes and released the Ep To Heal in 2008. To Heal left behind the breakdowns and screams in favor of interesting chord changes, melodies and new and expansive instrumental textures and soundscapes.

In 2009 The Cambiata are set to release their self titled album The Cambiata on Jan. 9th.
