California Sounds is the second solo album by Israeli singer-songwriter Yotam Ben Horin, best known as frontman of Israeli punk rock band Useless ID. The album was released on October 30, 2015, through Hardline Entertainment, under the name Yotam.
Recording and mixing of the album took place on May 5–6, 2015, during two days while Yotam was solo touring the United States, in between tours, at the Flying Blanket Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. The album was recorded and mixed by Bob Hoag of The Ataris fame and produced by Yotam himself, using only analog gear. Mastering was later done by Jason Livermore of the Blasting Room.
Unlike his previous solo album that was recorded with a full band and featured an indie/alternative rock sound, California Sounds features Yotam as the sole musician on the record, featuring only his vocals and acoustic guitar, in a raw soul-driven acoustic sound. The only other musician except Yotam featured on the album is Bob Hoag, who guested on keyboards on the song "Silver and Gold".
The song "Tony Sly" was written about Yotam's close friend and No Use for a Name vocalist and guitarist Tony Sly, who died in his sleep on July 31, 2012, and is dedicated to Sly every time the song is played live.
