Release Notes:
ôWhen trying to describe ClogsÆ music to other
folks, 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
æsublime.Æö
-Pitchfork.com
ô[There is] no question that the classical and
indie realms can share a border where music turns
pensive, knotty, and otherworldly.ö
-New York Times
The Creatures in the Garden of Lady Walton
is ClogsÆ highly anticipated fifth album. ItÆs a
song-cycle composed by Padma Newsome for Clogs with
extensive vocal work from Shara Worden of My
Brightest Diamond. Other guests include Sufjan
Stevens, Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger of The
National, and the Osso String Quartet.
Following ClogsÆ critically-acclaimed Lantern
(2006), The Creatures in the Garden of Lady Walton
is their first album of songs after four primarily
instrumental releases. The work was composed by
member Padma Newsome during a 2005 residency at
Giardini La Mortella sponsored by the Fromm
Foundation. The Garden is a rich botanical paradise
created by Lady Walton (the widow of the late
British composer Sir William Walton) on the island
of Ischia in ItalyÆs Bay of Naples. The album was
recorded in stages in Brooklyn and Sydney during
2007-08 with another year and a half for mixing and
finishing. It embodies some of the fortunate
vagaries of creating music with four people in
three cities on two continents, not to mention the
cadre of additional musicians who brought their own
presence of character to the project.
Clogs are four musicians from the United States and
Australia whose work traverses time and place and
through which seemingly disparate influences are
seamlessly drawn in. They compose and improvise
using sounds and textures from across the musical
spectrum û the immediacy of folk and rock music,
twisted Americana, the complexity of modern
composition.
