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. |

| Sad boys locked in bedrooms with nothing but their imagination and a laptop are doubtless a parental nightmare. But when producing records like this, they're at least making a worthwhile lifestyle choice. Behind the cryptic alias lurks Mark Mitchell, a 23-year-old from Adelaide whose interest lies in those sleepy, sunstroked moments when reality's hard edges melt. He sings with surprising forthrightness yet these ten electronic daydreams are not songs in any conventional sense, and are at their best - "We'll Live Free (in NYC)," "Do You Know That Love Can End?" - when the gentle meandering takes on its own dreamy logic. - Q |
