Clogs are a mostly instrumental project led by Bryce Dessner and Australia’s Padma Newsome, both men familiar from their membership in the acclaimed rock band, The National. But don’t call Clogs a side project. Their existence predates The National, and Clogs have released four widely acclaimed albums — a highly melodic debut Thom’s Night Out [ Brassland 2001 ] then the experimental polyphonies of Lullaby For Sue [ Brassland 2003 ] the minimalist explorations of Stick Music [ Brassland 2004 ] and 2005’s Lantern [ Brassland ].
When Clogs formed they were an oddball classical ensemble in indie rock clothing. Today, however, they’re at the forefront of a scene including friends in groups The Books, Rachel’s, and Bell Orchestre. Clogs are Newsome [ viola ~ violin ~ melocica ~ voice ~ piano ] Bryce Dessner (guitar/ukelele), Rachael Elliott [ bassoon/melodica ] and Thomas Kozumplik [ percussion ] They met in the late-90s while studying at the Yale School of Music. Newsome started his career as a concert violinist in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, before a six-year detour took him to an ashram in the remote region of New South Wales.
He began composing in the 90s at the University of Adelaide, when he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship that brought him to America. Dessner is an established soloist, and veteran of groups including Bang on a Can All-Stars, which has given him in contact with major figures like Philip Glass and Terry Riley. Elliott is a proud Vermonter and active freelance musician. Kozumplik is a master percussionist familiar with most any style.
