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. |

| 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 |

| Clue To Kalo is the brainchild of Australian songwriter Mark Mitchell, though this rich musical tapestry features contributions from various other musicians too. Written and recorded over a period of two years One Way, It's Every Way shares a lot of stylistic qualities with early Beta Band and Mùm with heavily layered instrumental and vocal tracks creating something that seems quite minimal. Though recorded on computer and using programming throughout, it's difficult to describe this as an electronic album, even on tracks like "The Tense Changes" where there is almost no live instrumentation. What Mitchell has created is something very loose and organic in a way that few electronic artists (the ones who attempt it) ever manage. - Indigo Flow |
