Califone

Califone is an experimental rock band from Chicago. The band is named after Califone International, an audio equipment manufacturer. Their work has been critically acclaimed.

Califone has released an album and feature film, both of which are titled All My Friends Are Funeral Singers. The album was released October 6, 2009 on Dead Oceans. The feature film was made available in 2010, and the band's current tour features a live soundtrack to the film.

All My Friends Are Funeral Singers is the follow-up album to 2006's Roots & Crowns, which The New York Times called "enthralling."

In 2011, a feature-length tour documentary about Califone, called "Made a Machine by Describing the Landscape", was released by IndiePix. The film was directed by Solan Jensen and Joshua Marie Wilkinson, and presents an intimate portrait of the band on tour in Europe and the US after the release of "Heron King Blues".

Califone released their latest album Stitches in September 2013 on Dead Oceans.

History

After the breakup of his former band Red Red Meat, frontman 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 and some members of other Chicago bands.

by: Anthony Green

Come and you will find here
The roses have lost their glow
The band played for too long tonight
The soldiers, their strength left in my first town
Califone, I love you
But you're doing coalesce
Califone I love you
But you're singing Sinatra again
Come and you will find here
Roses have lost their glow
The band played for too long tonight
The soldiers, their strength left in my first town
Califone, I love you
But you're doing coalesce
Califone, I love you
