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. |

| Coming to us from literally the other side of the world, it's unclear how Clue to Kalo, aka Australia's Mark Mitchell, found his way from down under to the Mush label. The artist represents the lighter side of the dark imprint's vision, melancholy compared to the likes of cLOUDEAD and Radioinactive. Come Here When You Sleepwalk is accessible in a very Pet Sounds manner, with dreamy melt-in-your-ear melodies that are full and saturated. There's been a flood of Four Tet-ish folky-electronic music lately, but despite that, his programmed goodness and homebrewed vocals recorded with crappy microphones spice the mix up with enough grit to satisfy, even after the initial appeal of the hooks wears off. "It's true that I'm not fine" he sings on "Do You Know That Love Can End?" - Boston's Weekly Dig |
