Music and lyrics

All of the ten songs on Introducing Cadallaca feature a Farfisa organ. According to Cadallaca's members, it was easy for them to write the songs on the album.^[1]

Critical reception

Stephanie Zacharek named Introducing Cadallaca her third favorite album of 1998.^[2] Robert Christgau gave the album an "A" grade, describing it as "a song sluice for an irrepressible talent" (referring to Corin Tucker). Stereo Review concluded that "if Sleater-Kinney had been juvenile delinquents in the '60s, they might have sounded like this: crossing a rough indie rock sound with surf guitar, Farfisa organ, and girl-group harmonies, they could be Ronnie Spector's reckless cousins."^[3]
