Califone - Roomsound
Review by zaza khalvashi
Califone's album "Roomsound" is a unique and captivating collection of songs that showcases the band's experimental style and musical versatility. With its blend of indie rock, folk, and electronic influences, "Roomsound" is a true masterpiece that takes listeners on a journey through a diverse range of emotions and musical landscapes.
The album opens with "Trick Bird," a haunting and atmospheric track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Califone takes listeners on a journey through a variety of moods and styles, from the upbeat and catchy "Michigan Girls" to the moody and introspective "St. Augustine (A Belly Full of Swans)."
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Fisherman's Wife," which features a driving beat and hypnotic guitar riff that will have listeners tapping their feet and nodding their heads. The song's lyrics are also particularly poignant, exploring themes of love and loss in a way that is both honest and relatable.
