.: about
Copenhagen based rock-act CLEO MALONE delivers a wall of sound featuring three guitars, distorted bass, hard-hitting drums and two lead singers. Through a melodic and dynamic expression the five members of CLEO MALONE navigate in a song universe of diminished frustrations and perceptions of the world through the eyes of misfits and those who are misunderstood. At times melancholic, at times catchy the music of CLEO MALONE functions as both the score for a night out in the city of Copenhagen and a night in solitude and reflection. Praised by reviewers for their skilled and energetic live performances.
Influences: Josh Homme, Julian Casblancas, Albert Hammond Jr., Jack White, Kim Munck, Karin Dreijer, Thom Yorke, Kasper Eistrup, Neil Young, conversations with ex-girlfriends, books, bikerides, politics, the weather and going to bed on an empty stomach.
.: reviews
Rockfreaks.net 7.5/10 - live-review (RUST), November 2009
"They are a band of massive promise, and when they get some experience and larger fan base with the kind of dedication their shows deserve, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Danish scene."
GAFFA magazine
- live-review (Simple Minds support), August 2009
"Gruppen spiller en slags guitarpoprock med tydelig britisk inspiration og hele to skiftende leadvokalister og tre guitarister. Sine steder er sangene enkle og poppede, andre gange tunge, småstøjende og en smule pompøse og ofte med ubesværede overgange fra mere energiske til mere afdæmpede passager i hver sang. Samspillet hos den unge gruppe er bestemt i orden, selvom sangskrivningen måske kunne være skarpere. Men samlet set et absolut lovende udtryk, som da også fik pæn applaus fra publikum."
Rockfreaks.net 8/10 - EP review, January 2009
"This is some of the most memorable stuff I've heard from the Danish underground in a while, and I'll be seeing the band play as soon as I have the chance - something you should consider doing too. (.) [The EP] is entirely awesome, especially in the passages where the thick atmospheres are blown open by intense, soaring riffage and dramatic vocal lines."
GAFFA magazine
- live-review, December 2008
"They are very skilled in their sense of dynamics and in their musical coordination which is evident way beyond the stage. (.) Cleo Malone sets a high standard throughout their entire set of songs, and it seem natural when they change between tight pop-melodies and dramatic post-rock like parts."
GAFFA magazine
- EP review, December 2008
"Cleo Malone har en rigtig god timing, og opbygningen gør en forskel for, at det ikke bare skal være pop, men mere udfordrende og interessant. De spiller godt og får virkelig meget ud af sangene, der både virker gennemarbejdede og intuitive. (.) så det er absolut et af de bands, det er værd at holde øje med. "
GAFFA magazine - live-review, December 2007
"[Cleo Malone] viste overskud og en smittende naturlig spilleglæde. De kan mange ting, og i hvert nummer var der mindst én ting, der overraskede og fungerede rigtig godt. (.) Fantastisk koncert"
MyMusic/Bandbase
- demo-review, October 2007
"Numrene holder alle hele vejen igennem en høj kvalitet, kompositionerne er gennemførte trods store variationer og brug af diverse storladne effekter, hvilket tværtimod bliver det, som kendetegner Cleos lyd - hvor det hos andre måske ville virke patetisk. (.) Go get them, Cleo!"
