Clementown: home

 
 
One day Kate and Chris picked up one of  their favorite books - Polkabats and Octopus Slacks, and decided to set it to music.
They played a bunch of instruments and shouted and sang into microphones and recorded it all. They did the same thing with another Calef Brown book - Dutch Sneakers and Fleakeepers.

"Clementown has taken my poems into another realm. Each tune is a unique joy, spinning out a sonic story in every flavor imaginable– from rock to folk to funk to klezmer, and everything in between. A masterpiece!"  - Calef Brown  www.calefbrown.com

"A sprawling, glorious and beautiful mess of an album."  - Jeff Bogel www.outwiththekids.com

"What's most impressive about the set of songs is how much attention is paid to painting a picture with the songs.   Recommended."    - Stefan Shepherd   www.zooglobble.com
