May 24 :: Rolling Stone <3’s Us Too!

And so does the Knox Road blog! (who did an interview with us earlier this year)

Rolling Stone’s Rock&Roll Daily just highlighted The Music Slut’s Morrissey Tribute compilation, and they singled us out as a recommended tune! Here is the blog post.

Rolling Stone’s Rock&Roll Daily:
The Music Slut’s ongoing tribute to Moz on the honor of his 50th birthday continues, with a string of covers — a new one every Friday! — that range from faithful to far-out. May we humbly suggest you start with Exit Clov’s bright and charming take on “Sing Your Life”?

You can download it here.

May 22 :: We <3 Music Also <3’s Exit CLov

To quote The Music Slut:

“I’ve asked a bevy of my favorite artists to contribute tracks to TMS Hearts Moz. Highlighting a selection of their choice, the result is a 19 song compilation that includes renditions of Smiths favorites, Morrissey rarities and nearly everything in between. I’m so proud to present this to you, our dear readers, and I’m forever thankful to each of the acts that took time out of their busy schedules to submit their own interpretations of some of my most cherished tunes.”

April 30, 2009 :: District of Sound Write-Up

Word came thru the grapevine that District of Sound has given us a nice write-up on their site. Thanks!! It was practically an essay. Almost as long as one of my mom’s text messages. (She writes novels in her texts)

Below is an excerpt and also the link to the Clov write-up by Orlando.

“‘MK Ultra,’ arguably one of the strongest tracks from Exit Clov, … has one of the craziest videos…ever. There’s mind control happening around the Washington Monument, jumping jacks, hazmat suits, and what looks like kinetic lightning (a la the Emperor) and a freeze frame high five at the end. I mean, come on! What more could you ask for?”
