The long-awaited follow-up to 2006's acclaimed Roots and Crowns , the album is the strongest collection of songs in a career with no shortage of strength. The subtlety and detail of Califone's previous work is present here the atmospheres are carefully nuanced, the percussion is both rattling and melodic, the melodies are rich and soulful, interspersed throughout softly strummed folk and electrified blues. All My Friends Are Funeral Singers is a dense collage of sounds, expertly formed into fully realized pop songs. From the same font of inspirationand on the same themeas the songs on All My Friends Are Funeral Singer s comes Rutili's first feature-length film. Also titled All My Friends Are Funeral Singers . The screenplay for the film and many of the songs were written at the same time and incorporate many of the same images and characters. The movie was shot in an old, rickety house in Indiana in the spring of 2009 and stars the respected cult actress Angela Bettis ( Girl, Interrupted ; May ; Carrie ). The band will be performing a live, interactive soundtrack to the movie for many of their performances supporting the album, adding a new element to the band's live show. It will be a truly special and ambitious event, and unlike anything Califone has done to date. A stand alone edit of the movie will be submitted to film festivals come 2010. All My Friends Are Funeral Singers is the record that the great Roots and Crowns hinted at. The songwriting is fleshed out, the musical vision is boiling over, the sonic experimentation is indulgent and dense, yet there's a great cohesion, a sense of purpose and a newfound focus to this Califone effort. Never has the band felt so vibrant, so alive, on one of their albums. All My Friends Are Funeral Singers is built for the long haul. Make space on your record shelf, because this one is here to stay.
