cut by paul gold at salt mastering and pressed on high quality virgin vinyl, 'roomsound' is presented in a deluxe custom silk-screened jacket with an art-worked inner sleeve and free download coupon. thrill jockey is proud to reissue 'roomsound', the debut full length from califone. originally released in april of 2001, 'roomsound' covers the same rustic, slightly ramshackle back forty that tim rutili has been ploughing through since his previous band red red meat. only this time the tilled bedrock unveils the most vividly colored, luring crop of songs rutili has ever harvested. the sleepy, country-blues picking and autumnal backwoods melodies are accented with striking splashes of electronic tone colour, obsolete keyboards and off-kilter percussion. lyrically, 'roomsound' penetrates the breath of pirates, poison apples at a tango contest and the waiting room between death and canonization where missionaries have quit and 19th-century whores have been rescued for all the wrong reasons. masterfully engineered by brian deck, the album is vaulted far beyond the sum of its parts. 'roomsound' is a hauntingly unique and distinctive record of crafted and sculpted beauty.
