Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This re-issue of Califone's debut full-length covers the same rustic, slightly ramshackle back forty that Tim Rutili has been ploughing since at least as far back as his previous band Red Red Meat. This time, the tilled bedrock unveils the most vividly colored, luring crop of songs Rutili has ever harvested. "Roomsound" is a hauntingly unique and distinctive record of crafted and sculpted beauty.

4.0 out of 5 stars " . . . we'll play a Stones' song, sittin' on a fence . . .", February 18, 2007

By	Steven Kosakowski "kosmonaut" (West Coast Jazz) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've followed this shambling Chicago indie country-blues outfit from Red Red Meat's Jimmywine Majestic through sidewinding projects like Loftus, oRSo, sin Ropas, and the earlier Califone ep's.

There are fewer folk involved in this one (pretty much Rutili-driven, I think), and it doesn't wander off the path into thorny thickets of tape loopery as these things sometimes have in the past - what we have here is probably as focused and confident a set of fuzzed-out folk-blues as they'll ever care to release.

Think Lou Reed and John Cale playing a not entirely acoustic set with the Glimmer Twins through Ike Turner's busted amp at Sun Studios.

Highlights: bottles and bones, slow rt hand.
