Califone, Early Worm
About This Event
Califone, Tim Rutili’s project that moves through country-rooted songwriting and the edges of alt-country, indie folk and post‑rock, plays Elsewhere with Early Worm. The bill sets Califone’s attention to worn acoustic textures and treated recordings against Early Worm’s downtown electronic practice, where measured, floor-level sets foreground structure and pacing rather than spectacle.
About the Artists
Califone
Califone is the work of Tim Rutili, an artist who moves through country-rooted songwriting with the edges of alt country, indie folk, and post-rock. The project is built around close listening: worn acoustic textures, treated recordings, and arrangements that often feel assembled as much as performed.
Early Worm
Early Worm is a New York City electronic group heard in rooms like Purgatory, where their sets often sit close to the floor-level energy of the crowd. Their work has circulated through bills with Cooper-Moore, Kyra Baskin, IVK, Ladybyrd, Paris Archives, Patching, Untitled Freak, and Lying Season, placing them in a networked downtown scene rather than a fixed lineup.
