Clues is the new band of ex Unicorns frontman Alden Penner.

Clues was founded by Alden Penner and Brendan Reed, both active for years in the Montreal music scene. Alden was one half of Unicorns, a band that burned bright and fast... at the beginning of the century, and Brendan has been a member of a number of groups, including the endless, Endless Forever and Arcade Fire. They began building Clues quietly and in near-secrecy during the summer of 2007, playing a series of unadvertised shows in small Montreal venues. Their early performances elicited passionate responses and made it clear that Alden had an awesome batch of new tunes in the works, a glorious voice to deliver them with, and a brilliant foil in Brendan as his co-conspirator.
By 2008, friends Ben Borden, Lisa Gamble, and Nick Scribner had been recruited from the Montreal art and music scenes; a few more exuberant shows went down, the sound building and strengthening every time. With the band’s foundations fully cemented, Clues began work on a debut record towards the end of the year.
During live shows and on recordings, the band share and trade-off on an extensive array of instruments and create a twitchy, urgent, utterly original music that expands Montreal’s (already diverse) pop music lexicon. Clues incorporates multiple drummers, horns, a table of fried electronics (including a Commodore 64 and an OLPC), saw and pianette alongside their trusty electric guitars and basses.
Through their founding and early work as a band, Clues has remained close to home, dedicated to collaborating with and supporting fellow independent artists. In 2008, Reed started VillaVillaNola, a digital music store featuring recordings by predominantly local artists who have flourished underground but who otherwise receive sparse attention. Strong ties to the independent music community, together with shared ideals, led Clues to collaborate with Montreal’s Constellation, who released the band’s self-titled debut record in May of 2009.

Clues are a terrific live band and it is not just us who think so:
"/One of the event's best shows/" - *Clues at Pop Montreal, 2009 - Spin Magazine*
*"*/The set by Clues last night was unquestionably fantastic. To be able to play a set of completely new material and suck in a sold out crowd is no small feat...Penner's vocals are so distinctive, his compositions so eclectic, and his stage presence so explosive yet edgy, that he can define a band just by being present on stage...Suffice it to say that Clues have defined a sound that, while relying heavily on Penner's influence, is most certainly its own. Unicorns fans will definitely not be disappointed. More than that, we're guessing that they'll be more than pleasantly surprised that Penner and Co. have passed The Unicorns legacy to create something new, but equally great./" - *Clues at Noise Pop, 2009 - hippiesaredead.com <http://hippiesaredead.com>*
The debut album by Clues is also terrific:
"/Montreal’s Clues have created a magnificent, off-kilter, decimated orchestral epic or a record; wilfully wonky and delightfully discordant; delicate vocal melodies soar above dented but shiny steam-punk homemade instrumentation. This is a truly unmissable record standing out among a season of great albums./" - 5/5 SUBBA CULTCHA
"/A splendid slice of raucous pop energy and indie rock idiosyncrasy that continues the strand of wonderfully individual yet oddly accessible releases...Clues offer up garage rock stomp, post-punk angularity, occasional melancholy interludes and a host of soaring anthemic, indie rock stormers, all delivered with just the right slant of oddness and genuine originality./" - ROCK A ROLLA
"/Clues marshals light and shade with some mastery/." - 4/5 UNCUT
"/Clues is a very assured debut with a fully formed aesthetic that exploits the strengths of its players while pushing them beyond their established comfort zones. With any luck, Penner will be able to stick with this project for a second album./" - PITCHFORK
"/Fans...have been waiting a heckuva long time for this record. Its a grimy, troubled spectre of a record that chases the frightened figure of pop down dark brass-haunted alleys, labyrinths of guitar murk and Lynchian cabaret halls/." - 8/10 ROCKSOUND
"A must have for fans of strange pop music."- AQUARIUS RECORDS
