Clogs
Label: Rough Trade Publishing
Read Description:
A 21st century acoustic-electronic journey through folk music, twisted Americana to the complexity of modernism.
Clogs are four musicians from the U.S. and Australia who compose and improvise using sounds, textures and influences from across the musical spectrum. From the immediacy of folk music, through twisted Americana to the complexity of modernism and composers like Michael Nyman, their sound marks a new and beautifully strange stage in the evolution of 21st century acoustic-electronic music.
Sublime timeless modern classical music.
“5/4 “ is one of the most stunning tracks in our catalogue, with incredibly accomplished playing mainly on string instruments, heart-warming, uplifting, with some wonderful changes and twists that have you flying with the wind. Listen to it NOW! More percussive and punctuated is “Voisins” with an amalgam of influences from middle-eastern music to jazz, stunning!
