Cl.1 [Colored Vinyl] (Ofgv) [Download Included]

Clone are a band which operates in what's rapidly becoming an antiquated model. CL.1 is their first LP and only 3rd release, and it's a damn auspicious opening volley. Completely recorded and mixed by New York City legend Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans). It's' sound captures the nascent verve of Warsaw especially in the icy timbre of the slashing guitar figures. Liziragga's eminently melodic, racing basslines, which are reminiscent of Peter Hook's and locks in effortlessly with Giuffre's metronomic, economical drumming. Galleon's vocals exhibit a range he never showed in Dead Leaf Echo, and they're clearer than ever, as he urges with an unrepentant rage, "Tell me a story about how you'll bore me." This LP is pressed on 140 gram Black and White mixed vinyl and is packaged with a download card.
