    Anyone playing Clearlake?
    I went looking for this after hearing a trio of the tracks (9, 10 &11) from a streaming radio site. I've played it a lot. They're a british band, with high and low moments of dreamy pop remeniscent of the 80's/90's. It is not one to cheer you up, but you get the sense that they aren't taking themselves too seriously. Sound quality is good too.

    Not a great review at AMG, which I've learned to take with a grain of salt, but their write-up reads better than the three stars they gave it: "As musicians, Clearlake designs an abstract portrait on Cedars. It's not as cheeky as Pulp and not nearly as abrasive as British Sea Power; however, Clearlake is equally provocative."

    I''m recommending it, seeing what a lot of others here are into.

    I should have known. Are you still playing it Stone?

    I guess I'll have to go out and find some of your other recomendations too.

    I am. I listened to it last week. I'm out of town and don't have it with me, but I really like that album. If you're interested, I put together a year end comp, but won't have a chance to send one out to you for at least a couple weeks from now. PM me if you're interested.
