Clemente is fronted by narrator/song writer Jefrey Siler. A little while back, cousin Keith Bailey picked up his bass and the two began making music. Originally from the Southern States, Siler now lives in Sydney, Australia.

…Whilst Honey Hums will be released on the thirtieth of January and a major West Coast tour is in the works. The album features appearances by Philip McArdle of Mendoza Line and Neil Golden of Elf Power fame. Recorded in Athens Georgia, …Whilst Honey Hums certainly has musical roots in that segment of Americana. The record sounds familiar, but in a comfortable, unobtrusive way. Pop ghosts of bygone days haunt the music with a cadaverous grimace of approval.

Most of the songs, sung in a forced-to-be-depressed-but-hopeful tone, are clearly about friends and family. This quiet, almost too mature, guitar-pop plays easily during pensive hours of the morning and afternoon.

When I first listened I was struck by how much Jefrey Siler sounded like Morrissey. Especially on the fantastic song "Ambulance Drivers on Holiday Nights", I hear a certain melancholy Englishmen speaking through a South-Eastern American face. The next track, "Adoptive Wedge", gives Clemente more of a signature sound it call its own, not that sounding like the Smiths is bad, or too unpleasantly derivative.

Punchy, cheeky, and always a little sad, this album has a kind of music most humans can relate to.

Like many indie heavyweights, Jefrey is prolific, recently writing a book called Left of Center: Insights on Songwriting, and already planning the next Clemente album.
