In October, Califone shared a higher-quality version of “Burn The Sheets.Bleach The Books,” which the Tim Rutili-led band played live on occasion from the 2016 home-recorded EP Insect Courage. Today, Califone are announcing a new album, The Villagers Companion, which is coming out next month. You can preview the project with the just-shared lead single, “Every Amnesia Movie,” a downbeat and soulful meditation on modern technology that has Rutili defiantly asking, “When have I ever given anyone what they want?”
