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's Aussie mastermind, Mark Mitchell, shares a great deal of sonic territory with Caribou, The Notwist, Four Tet (prerave throwback) and Hood, blending digital and analog elements into a heady stream of plaintive melodies, resonant harmonies and densely layered instrumental passages that skew toward lo-fi rock and folk while maintaining a finely honed, unmistakably electronic edge. Having matured past the earnest sentimentality of his 2003 debut, here, Mitchell constructs dense undercurrents of sound that buoy his tender, introspective vocals to the surface. - Remix |
