Biography

Califone is a critically-acclaimed experimental post-rock band from Chicago. The band is named after Califone International, an audio equipment manufacturer.

Califone will release an album and feature film in 2009, both of which are titled All My Friends Are Funeral Singers. The album was released October 6, 2009 on Dead Oceans. The feature film will be submitted to festivals in 2010, and the band will play a live soundtrack to the film during their tour.

All My Friends Are Funeral Singers is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2006's Roots & Crowns, which The New York Times called "enthralling." The first single released for the album is called Funeral Singers.
