MH-213 Clue To Kalo - Come Here When You Sleepwalk  Combining equally strong elements of laptop production, heartfelt vocals, and non-traditional songwriting, Come Here When You Sleepwalk is the extraordinary new release from Australian musician Clue To Kalo (Mark Mitchell). Featuring both down and uptempo tracks, the release's strengths are its ever-morphing melodies, keyboard lines, and drum machines, and understated vocals that never use more words or volume than necessary to set their mood. At first glance, the lyrics seem simple, yet they cut to the heart of their topic with precision. Damaged personalities, wounded relationships and underlying hope saturate tracks on a release that should establish Clue To Kalo as one of the finest songwriters and producers working in electronic music today. |

| Clue to Kalo is Aussie Mark Mitchell, and throughout the tracks his programming and love for a tuneful melody comes through. Most tracks take about a minute to get going, with quiet guitar and unfinished beats, Mitchell breathes life into folky tunes with scratchy drums, undulating synth chimes, warped speech samples and beautifully conceived chord sequences. Highlight is "Within Reach of My Own Arms," with junkyard rhythms and delicate sweet melodies. If such a thing is possible. - Future Music |
