2003, Thrill Jockey
RESTOCK. Ripped bleeding from pop, country, avant-noise, art-rock and plain old folk music, "Quicksand/Cradlesnakes" reinforces Califone's position as the premier left of centre noise-niks with tunes, anywhere in the world. It's their first to be licensed to Thrill Jockey.... The key to the success of the whole project is an innate ability of knowing when to lay glittering melodies before the listener, and when to make a rhythmic but somewhat atonal statement of alienation from what has come before.

EricThere are certain albums that lend themselves perfectly to a situation. Quicksand/Cradlesnakes unfolded for me driving across the Midwest on a foggy morning. The album is an adventurous and beautiful blend of folk, bluegrass, electronics, and abstraction. The album not only blends these together seamlessly--as if this combination was meant to happen--but it does it without sounding forced. In fact the one quality that Califone achieves most successfully on Quicksand/Cradlesnakes is an organic record. An album that grows with every listen, that is dirty, natural, rough, and somehow at its simplest--beautiful.
