  1. On Creatures, Clogs imagine a graceful space that's always worth revisiting.
  2. They’ll soon become enraptured by what accompanies these highest-of-profile pieces: music that embraces the listener with a silken touch and seduces them with a beguiling beauty that, still, sits prettily beyond the clamour of convenient categorisation.

    This lavish song cycle, embarcing intricate choral, chamber and post-rock passages, is the feted US/Australian ensemble's first non-instrumental album. [Jul 2010, p.95]
  4. Few bands make their effort appreciated but not felt; Clogs don't squeeze the music too hard, they let it exist on its own.
