CMU Approved
Approved: Clogs – On The Edge
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 16 March 2010
Genre straddling four-piece Clogs return with their fifth album, ‘The Creatures In The Garden Of Lady Walton’, on 24 May. The follow-up to 2006’s more snappily-titled ‘Lantern’, it sees the band make their first foray into writing songs, as opposed to the largely instrumental soundscapes of earlier releases. Vocals are mainly handled by My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Worden, though Sufjan Stevens and Matt Berninger of The National also make appearances.
Written, recorded and mixed over five years, three cities and two continents, it would be easy for everyone involved to lose sight of where this album was heading. If that did ever happen, they’ve done a very good job of pulling the whole thing back in line, as the mp3 of album track ‘On The Edge’, featuring the operatic vocals of the aforementioned Shara Worden, will attest.
