Califone blends indie rock, post-rock, and experimental textures into dense, cinematic soundscapes that evolve with each release. Formed in Chicago in 1997, the project takes its name from Califone audio equipment, a nod to the sonic craftsmanship at the heart of their work. Led by Tim Rutili, Califone features a rotating collective of musicians who contribute to long-running scores for film and stage alongside studio albums.
