In an underground music landscape where 140 characters equals "journalism"
and lone MP3s propel bands to momentary internet stardom, bands are here
today and gone tomorrow.
Califone is a band that defies this blueprint. Their albums are full of
layers and textures, offering endless depth, entire universes to lose
yourself in – and beyond the thick spectrum of sound, they do something
even more important: They write great songs. Califone is a band that
will stand the test of time.
After the breakup of his former band Red Red
Meat<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Red_Meat>,
frontman Tim Rutili <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Rutili> formed
Califone as a solo project. Rutili's solo effort soon became a full-fledged
musical project with a regular and rotating list of contributors, including
many former members of Red Red
Meat<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Red_Meat> and
some members of other Chicago bands.
According to Rutili, Califone started as a home project: "The statement of
intent would have been 'easy listening' compared to what we were doing with
Red Red Meat. This was supposed to be making little pop songs out of found
pieces. It was supposed to be just a little home project, and it slowly
grew from there. Now it seems like just about anything goes."
