Clue to Kalo is a Folktronica band from Adelaide, South Australia, featuring Mark Mitchell and a revolving cast of supporting musicians. Clue To Kalo’s initial commercial success came in the US through LA-based Mush Records. [1] They were featured in Spin as Artist of the Day in September 2005. [2] Lily Perdida, released 20 January 2009, has received critical favor. [3] [4]

History

Adelaide's Clue to Kalo began as Mark Mitchell's solo recording project, piecing together samples and electronic instruments into "multilayered... homemade puzzle pop". [5] As the band developed into a full line-up, Mark continued to record the base tracks on his computer, allowing the other members to layer their contributions on top. [6] [7] Their 2005 release, One Way, It's Every Way, earned them a spot in that year's South by Southwest festival. [8] Clue to Kalo completed recording Lily Perdida in 2007, with Ellen Carey as a full-time member.

Mark has suspended his pursuit of a PhD in English Cultural Studies at a South Australian University to support the band full-time. [3]
