I did I miss a discussion of this on Obner? I've liked this band for a while, and last year's King Heron Blues was one of my favorites of the year.

But I think they've surpassed themselves with this... mature, fully formed. I guess it's nu-folk, but increasingly they are hard to categorize. On a number or two they sound what you wish Wilco sounded like these days. Maybe best of the year for me.

If I like this so much, what else would I like (other parameters: don't much like Devandra, do like Six Organs).

i just obtained this a couple days ago actually. it's my first taste of califone, and i really dig it. i had the same thoughts as you in that it reminded me a bit of wilco's experimental side as of late.

Hmm. 2004, sorry.

Quicksand was 2003, also very good.

Yep. And I just bought Roots and Crowns yesterday, so it hasn't quite stuck yet. I'm confident it will.

Wow, I completely overlooked this one. I'm in if the offer is still available. Much appreciated!

Califone is on my ever growing list of bands that I know are up my alley but haven't checked out yet.

I tried to find somebody of that sort that I could like that nobody else did - because everybody would adopt his group, and his group would be _it_; someone weird like Captain Beefheart. It's no different now - people trying to outdo ! each other in extremes. There are people who like X, and there are people who say X are wimps; they like Black Flag.

I wouldn't get this mainly because it reminds me of the dentist.

There is an exclusive (or so they say) bonus track from the latest album on eMusic.

I haven't really liked anything since Roomsound. If this trumps that, I'm interested in hearing it.
