Lily Perdida is the third studio album by Clue to Kalo. It was released through Mush Records on 20 January 2009.[1] The album tells the story of the title character from the perspective of those around her.[2]
Clue to Kalo's Mark Mitchell says of the album's concept:
I wanted to make a folk record which was about one particular person based on what everyone else was saying about them. I read a lot of old traditional song lyrics and absorbed the language that was used. A lot of key words came up in these songs, so I wanted to have echoes of that language, but take it out of its context and use it in a modern story.[3]
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[4]
Alan Ranta of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, stating, "It is [Mark] Mitchell's most organic fusion yet, dripping with indie psychedelia through delicate melodies of acoustic guitar, harpsichord, flute, and anything under the stairs he could squeeze through his soundcard."[8] He added, "It's as impressive as it is warm and charming."[8] Ian Gormely of Exclaim! commented that "this cycle of heavy-hearted pop tunes is spiritually reminiscent of '60s concept records like Pet Sounds and Odyssey and Oracle — fun and heartbreaking all at once."[6] Dominic Umile of XLR8R wrote, "This is a dense, challenging ride, where the search for the big hooks is sometimes derailed by an onslaught of smaller ones."[10]
