Clearlake

So, awhile back I mentioned that I am in experimenting mode. I mentioned this to my friend who said I should check out Clearlake. Well, I was at Recordland earlier this week trading in some of those donated CDs I mentioned as well. Looking for something to fill my quota, there was Clearlake's Cedars . Since all I had to go on was the name, I checked out other details - released 2003, on Domino Records - seemed like this could be the thing. It turns out that it is quite good. Sounds a bit like Elbow if they were fronted by Daman Albarn circa Modern Life is Rubbish. Pitchfork even gave it a 9.1 - nice.
