Details:
Described by one Aussie music journo as a diabolical shitstorm of rock, channelling everything from Queens of the Stone Age, Grinderman and Tom Waits to Deep Purple and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Van Cleef have filled their shotgun shells with the crushed teeth of their live audiences and now blast their debut album to the world…
”Songs that in their masterful delivery sound like they''ve been dragged through the gutter, given a few dozen shots of tequila, thrown behind the wheel of a monster truck only to drive crashing through a kindergarten.”

October 2010
But the rock is only one part of Van Cleef’s sonic arsenal. From the wild-card faded-velvet groove of John Stewart’s 1979 hit Gold, to the beautiful two-line murder ballad Claudia, which evokes the spaghetti westerns that starred the band’s namesake… it’s possibly the closing track – the cinematic instrumental Ghost Train Dog that makes them such a difficult band to pin down.
Background:
WTRMTR is the debut album of Adelaide space-rock four-piece Van Cleef, produced by Matt Hills (Wolf & Cub) at Hillside Studios, Adelaide, South Australia and mastered by JJ Golden (Sonic Youth, Calexico, Melvins) at Golden Mastering, Ventura, California.
Van Cleef formed in 2008 and rapidly built a strong following in the live music scene. Their debut 2009 E.P Intergalactic Porn Swamp gained much radio play and sold out via gig sales.
Van Cleef is:
Mike Gordon – Vocs/Keys
Christian Thompson – Vocs/Guitar
Adam Lloyd - Bass
Jonah Rudd – Drums/Percussion
Blending Southern gothic blues with swamped-out space rock, WTRMTR is the soundtrack to a road movie currently being filmed inside your own head... so pour yourself a double shot, sit back and close your eyes... the show''s about to start.
