Clogs Step Into the Garden

Padma Newsome came onto my radar because of The National, but his work outside of the band is quite impressive. He is truly a musician, not someone who fell into the gig with a bag of words and a little harmony.

The multi-instrumentalist is a composer, and Clogs new album, The Creatures in the Garden of Lady Walton, marks a change in direction from the previous instrumental releases. Here, Shara Worden offers vocal work, and Clogs is supplemented by Sufjan Stevens, Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger of The National, and the Osso String Quartet.

Clogs has only announced two dates this year, but more are promised (and as a side note, The National will also be playing at the Big Ears Festival):

February 19 – 20 – Minneapolis, MN @ Southern Theater
March 26 – 28 – Knoxville, TN @ Big Ears Festival
