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. |

| If Mush's poaching of Mark Mitchell from Adelaide's Surgery label wasn't testament enough to the transatlantic nature of the mild-mannered Australian's music, then Tony Morley's subsequent licensing of his sophomore album to England's highly respected Leaf label further reinforced the point. Indeed, as a purveyor of sleuth rock, Mitchell is comparable to the Badly Drawn one in his deliquescing of a hopeful singing style and jangling guitars into studio-sourced blips and sneezes, but there is much, much more to this album than simple comparison will allow. The earthy grooves, though already both emotive and touching, are injected with a sense of sing-along cool - with Come Here When You Sleepwalk an essential body of work for those who enjoy their electronic music with a little human interference. - All Music Guide |
