Clues - Clues (Constellation)

A splendid slice of raucous pop energy and indie rock idiosyncrasy that continues the strand of wonderfully individual yet oddly accessible releases of the last few years proving that there's a lot more to Montreal's Constellation label than the apocalyptic post-rock epicism of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and A Silver Mount Zion for which the label is still most famous. With rough-hewn authenticity, infectious vocal harmonies and multi-instrumental exuberance, Clues offer up garage rock stomp, post-punk angularity, occasional melancholy interludes and a host of soaring, anthemic, indie rock stormers, all delivered with just the right slant of oddness and genuine originality.

'Clues' is available now on Constellation.
