Califone's unique sound is easy to detect but hard to pin down. Twangly is one of the words which comes to mind. Oh, that isn't a word? Deal with it. Clamorous is another. Freaking awesome, too. Wait, that's two words. Anyway, this 2009 album is less "out there" than their 2006 album Roots & Crowns, also a favorite of mine. More coherent. More... folky? Eh, whatever. Like I said, it's a unique sound, and it demands a few listens.
In fact, here is Roots & Crowns too, because it's Friday and I'm a nice guy and you really should listen to it. A couple of times at least.
