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.
They were featured in Spin as Artist of the Day in September 2005.
Lily Perdida, released 20 January 2009, has received critical favor.
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".
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.
Their 2005 release, One Way, It's Every Way, earned them a spot in that year's South by Southwest festival.
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.
