Description: | Califoneâ??s debut album 'Roomsound' - Originally self 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 color, 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 prostitutes have been rescued for all the wrong reasons. Masterfully produced by Brian Deck, the album is vaulted far beyond the sum of its parts. - CARDBOARD WALLETPackaged in a gatefold cardboard sleeve. Includes a six-panel fold-out insert.
Track 4 is misspelled as "Pono Starlet Vs. Rodeo Clown" on the sleeve's rear panel track list.
