Album Review

On their seventh record (second to garner a non-local release), Vancouver's Clumsy Lovers have hit the sweet spot with their signature blend of irreverent folk-rock and progressive country. Smart Kid is what Barenaked Ladies might have sounded like had they continued in the vein of Gordon instead of pandering to MTV. It's goofy, earnest, meticulously crafted, and expertly played, with echoes of early Camper Van Beethoven and Spirit of the West. That earnestness keeps less comedic numbers like "Coming Home" and "Not Long for This World" from turning into sentimental filler and helps make offbeat numbers such as "Bobby Banjo," "Cock of the North," and the Celtic and reggae-infused "London Bridge" actually work. The Clumsy Lovers have managed to nail down the often intangible feel of a truly congenial, inclusive, and well-attended club show, and it's a testament to their authenticity that it comes off without a hint of pretense.

Customer Reviews

Original Lovers!

These guys are great. Living in a town close to their native British Columbia, I've been priveleged to hear them live for about 8 years now. Every time they play it's a party. And as they've extended their range past the celtic bluegrass standards and integrated their own sound, their music has become more solid and distinct. New sounds, sure. But as you're listening to their new stuff, the enjoyable party sound of their previous years is supporting it throughout! Wanna' soulfully kick up your heels? The Clumsy Lovers bring you to it!

Hard to classify - easy to love!

The Clumsy Lovers are a fantastic band with an eclectic, high energy presentation, lots of fun, humorous, and great musicality. This is their best album to date, and demonstrates the range of the band. Give them a try....and for goodness sakes, SEE THEM LIVE!!! Trevor (lead/guitar) has a warm and simple voice, matched beautifully over the kickin' banjo and smokin' hot fiddle. Andrea (fiddle) is a high octane hottie.

Great Blend Of Music Styles

The Clumsy Lovers combines my favorite genres all into one. Folk and Bluegrass have a Rock feel and rythm verses a backwoods mountain bluegass that can get a bit annoying at times. I love the fiddle and banjo the best! Stongly recommned to anyone who likes this type of music!

Biography

Formed: 2000 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canad

Genre: Singer/Songwriter

Years Active: '90s, '00s

The group of musicians that eventually formed the Clumsy Lovers didn't really intend to start a band. They'd just play out around their home base of Vancouver, spinning their folky, often riotous take on rock in pubs, basements, and backyard parties. But people noticed and starting clamoring for more than just the weekend gigging, and the band was officially born. Between 2000 and 2002 the Clumsy Lovers self-released a series of recordings that blended their Celtic, bluegrass, and rock influences....
