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."
