MH-238 Clue To Kalo - One Way, It's Every Way  Written and recorded in Adelaide, Australia during a two-year period of great personal change, and finished on a four-month adventure in Brooklyn, USA, One Way, It's Every Way is Mark Mitchell's second record as Clue To Kalo. Designed as a musical palindrome, the album is an unabashedly ambitious, surprisingly celebratory meditation on death. Instrumental contributions from old and new friends, as well as elements of classic folk, lo-fi rock, and bedroom electronica, are all taken out of context and remade as a ten track set thick with overloaded melodies, multi-part harmonies, and literate language. One Way, It's Every Way is a stunning development for Clue To Kalo both musically and lyrically. |

| Reviews Summary |
| A serious contender for 2005's best record - Scissorkick / Extraordinarily unassuming, gorgeous release - Stylus / Lends understated grace and warmth to a genre that's usually devoid of such things. - New Times Palm Beach / A master of counterintuitive pop arrangements - Chord / Will pull at your heartstrings and carry you back to nostalgic places in the best of ways. - Metro.Pop |

| Written and recorded in Adelaide, Australia, during a two-year period of great personal change, and finished on a four-month sojourn in Brooklyn, USA, "One Way, It's Every Way" is Mark Mitchell's second album as Clue to Kalo. Designed as a musical palindrome, the album is an unashamedly ambitious, surprisingly celebratory meditation on mortality. Instrumental contributions from friends old and new, along with elements of folk, rock and electronica, are recontextualised as a ten track set thick with overloaded melodies, multi-part harmonies, and literate language. "One Way, It's Every Way" is a good development for Clue to Kalo both musically and lyrically. Mitchell applies a lo-fi aesthetic to pristine computer-based production in which the technology is the means rather than the end. Recommended. - Boomkat |
