The Clogs are comprised of four classically trained musicians – Bryce Dessner, Padma Newsome, Rachael Elliott and Thomas Kozumplik – who create avant-garde folk tinged chamber music that infuses sounds and textures from wide ranging musical spectrum: Americana, jazz, post-rock, and complex modern classical compositions. “The Creatures in the Garden of Lady Walton” takes its name from the Divine Garden created by composer Sir William Walton on the Island of Ischia, Italy. The Clogs’ fifth studio album, and the first non-instrumental one, is a collection of songs Newsome created during a residency at the garden’s concert series in 05. Guest vocalists include Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond), Matt Berninger (The National), and Sufjan Stevens. – Written by JFelton
