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 |

| This album is ideally placed to come out in the autumn - the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness suits Mark Mitchell's fractured psyche-pop soul to a tee. A few years ago it might have been dubbed folktronica, these days its merry melange of tweaks and twocks and strummed guitars sits quietly confident amongst the leftfield refuseniks. Tracks like "Come to Mean a Natural Law" and "As Tommy Fixes Fights" are every bit as individual as their titles would have you believe: it's like being mugged by Brian Wilson as Arthur Lee takes notes, and it's as kooky as you like. The sort of weird and wonderful tackle that's well worth investigating. - International DJ |
