BIOGRAPHY: CLOGS


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, their sound marks a new and beautifully strange stage in the evolution of 21st century acoustic-electronic music.

"It might be better to forgo any genre distinctions and head straight for the thesaurus so you can find fresh and exciting ways to say 'sublime'."
- David Raposa, Pitchforkmedia.com

This season Clogs is in the studio recording a new collection of songs with wonderful guests including Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and Aaron Dessner (of The National) as well as Ha-Yang Kim, Michael Atkinson and Osso.

Clogs will return to Australia in January to perform at the 2008 Sydney Festival. They have appeared most recently at the 2007 Bang on a Can Marathon, MusicNow Festival, Wexner Center for the Arts and the Warhol Museum. Clogs’ fourth album, Lantern, was released in February 2006.
