Description
The second full-length album from
CALIFONE (featuring members of RED RED MEAT), after the success of their last outing 'Roomsound', declared by the New York Times as one of 2000's best records. The group cross-pollinates blues, folk music and broken electronic instruments like no other. Fiddle, banjo, mandolin and Cajun accordians mix it with guitar treatments and electronics to give the album its unique, beautiful and complex sound. Bare lyrics and expressive vocals are reminiscent of MARK LANEGAN's rootsier outings and close to the heart of WILCO's recent understated recordings. With creative percussive touches, amazingly sparse guitar and beautiful string passages, this is an album made by fantastic musicians completely in-tune with each other and at the peak of their powers. The result is rugged and elegant, dark and optimistic, familiar and entirely new.
