Ledmonton is definitely my highlight so far. Regarding the person who said that Alden was more responsible for the Unicorns sound: huh? Are you kidding? The Unicorns were pretty eclectic with their sound. If you think of Jellybones, you think of Nick. If you think of Child Star, you think of Alden. Their album was amazing because it was diverse, but unified in their weirdness and pop sensibilities. Maybe you are saying that because Alden stayed more on the indie/low-fi sense of the genre while Nick has gotten a little more grandiose. Personally, I'd say that Island's "Arm's Way" is the best album to come out from Nick, Alden and any combination of the two of them (yes, including "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?". Anyway, they are both very talented and unique, and I love their work. I can't wait to hear more from Clues in the future. The album is great. Ledmonton is definitely my highlight so far.

Personally, I’d say that Island’s “Arm’s Way” is the best album to come out from Nick, Alden and any combination of the two of them (yes, including “Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone?”.

Anyway, they are both very talented and unique, and I love their work. I can’t wait to hear more from Clues in the future.

Although if there's one thing great that Clues has shown us, it's how much more important Alden Penner was than Nicholas Thorburn in developing the unicorns sound. Jan, I'm loving the tracks you posted here much more than anything I ever heard from Islands. But Human Highway was fun.

I like these videos you posted, and Ledmonton is neat. Don't know if I've acquired a taste for all of their work yet though ... might take a bit more advanced calc to digest it. really nice review Jan.
