| Clem Snide, the musical vehicle for lyricist/singer/songwriter Eef Barzelay, is a group of art-pop revelers with a variety of pop references from old-school country & western to the most lyrical romanticism of indie pop, noted for their entertaining and dynamic live sets and dynamic records recalling the likes of Hank Williams, Neil Young, Tom Waits and Jonathan Richman. Their fifth album End of Love has received glorious worldwide praise, some of which might be useful:
"One of the bands that should be getting more of the love Wilco has gotten the past few years, a band whose music you will listen to out of joy and not a misguided sense of hipster duty." Houston Press
"End of Love is the kind of record Jeff Tweedy might make if he grew a personality." Alibi
"You'll find yourself laughing through the tears" - Entertainment Weekly
"It's sweet and sad and frequently hilarious." - Village Voice
"Some of the brainiest pop this side of Elvis Costello or Randy Newman." No Depression
"Like a Wes Anderson film, 'End of Love' hangs in limbo between irony and sincerity, between a need to be meaningful and a fear of getting fooled again." Paste
"Barzelay's wittiest and most affecting songs yet... after-hours music that makes you laugh while tugging at your heartstrings." Rolling Stone |
Jake Ottmann
