A reissue of CALIFONE's 2001 debut album 'Roomsound'. 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 prostitutes have been rescued for all the wrong reasons.
