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. |

| Australia is not exactly noted for musical innovation, but in Mark Mitchell it can boast a son whose approach to electronica is refreshingly different; the familiar skeletal black-box output of samplers, sequencers and laptops has been embellished with rare emotion and bottomless romance to create a kaleidoscopic cyber-whirlpool of genuine depth and imagination. The glitches and sideways eclecticism of traditional electronica merge with the organic, pastoral surroundings of Mitchell's native Adelaide, adding a sense of "what happens if‚" a fascinating refinement of the genre into a genuine contender for mainstream ubiquity. Ever wondered what a flower would think as it unfolds to greet the day? "Your Heart Is Your Compass" will give you an idea. Majestic. - Logo |
