Quicksand / Cradlesnakes (Deluxe Reissue)

In the Summer of 2002, Tim Rutili and the rest of Califone had just come out of a busy year that included touring with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - era Wilco and collaborating with Issac Brock’s alter- ego project, Ugly Casanova. With new creative energy unlocked the band began work on the follow-up to their breakout full-length debut, Roomsound. The result, the much celebrated Quicksand / Cradlesnakes, brims with earned confidence. Here, Califone began to master the mix of blues, country and technical glitchery so oft-referenced today, all the while creating something timeless. Quicksand / Cradlesnakes is rugged and elegant, dark and optimistic, familiar and entirely new. In a word it is beautiful. Deluxe reissue includes many previously unreleased tracks.
