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. |

| With the twin control mechanisms of Mush and Leaf in place, you just know this is going to be a special record. And indeed it is; Mark Mitchell is a 23-year-old singer-songwriter from Adelaide whose songs display as much of an understanding of electronic music as they do of Nick Drake et al. This a warm, shuffling album bereft of cliche and posture. Rather than functioning simply as an attempt to update an old theme, the chirps and bleeps speak because they sound right; this is a singer songwriter record where voice is a layer of the collage rather than the centrifugal force. Personally speaking, the great success of this record for me is that it makes it feel like winter's gone and spring is here. - Grand Slam |
