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. |

| This month's must-have chill LP comes from Oz - it's 23-year-old Adelaidian Mark Mitchell. Both warm and shady, this is a place where time has no meaning - it's all about slowly evolving moods. "The First Song of the Rest of Your Life" works the same sonic magic as early Spiritualized, with fuzzy, early morning drum production from Boards of Canada. "Empty Save the Oxygen" grabs Manitoba by the scruff off the neck and adds some Badly Drawn melodies that slowly seep beneath your skin. But Clue to Kalo's album is more than the sum of its influences - if you've any interest at all in intelligent, moody electronica, purchase of this is imperative. - Muzik |
