    At the risk of sounding pretentious, this album is sublime - sharedsorrows.com. This is possibly their most refined and on-point project yet. Like all Califone albums, it blows you away on the first listen, and only gets better with each successive listen. I've had it for about two weeks now and I'm finding it hard to tear myself away to listen to anything else.

    As luck would have it, they're coming through Missoula on Feb. 7. To hell with the Super Bowl, I get to see Califone!    … Expand

    It's filled with engagingly warm-sounding tunes mating melodic accessibility with a winning lyrical evanescence powered by the same kind of poetic dream logic that's cropped up in Califone's concepts before.

    If All My Friends Are Funeral Singers has said one thing at all to me, it’s that Califone merit further investigation, especially for someone who tends to write off ‘folk’ music. And if that doesn’t make it a success, then I don’t know what does.

    It is another well-made and executed Califone album, and it stays completely true to their concept. Consistency is underrated.
