Colin Clary is, according to his myspace, from Vermont in the United States. I've never been there, but I did once get very drunk on some cider made from Vermont apples at a Gang Gang Dance show in Chicago. It was about £1.50/pint and very, very tasty. True story!
He also writes a lot of songs in a lot of different projects, some of which he has released on the absolutely-wonderful Asaurus Records. By 'some of which', I mean 'the ones I have'. Basically, it's just simple indiepop, with all the indiepop hallmarks - fuzzy production, drum machines, cheap keyboards, crooning vocals, the whole caboodle - but there's a sense of glee and wonder in his songs that few others match.
He's also, apparently, a key proponent of the "Be Nice Revolution". Awwwwwwwwww! That definitely needs a webpage...
Check out some tracks below, all taken from his 2005 solo album Sweater Weather Or Not, These Are The Songs I Got. The album actually comes in a minature sweater, y'know. Seriously, I love Asaurus Records so much it's slightly disturbing. They're also putting out a new album for him, hopefully before the end of the year, so I guess they'll be getting more of my money...
mp3: Colin Clary - The Engine Light's Always On
mp3: Colin Clary - The Mixtape On My Mind
mp3: Colin Clary - Tiny Teeth
There are some links below as well, although I'm not sure how much use a lot of them are besides the Asaurus Records one (which has a complete discography) as a lot of the links seem to be dead or un-updated. Sadface. NOTE TO MUSICIANS: PROPER WEBSITES ARE GREAT.
Some nice PR/label people have sent me some awesome records in the last two weeks, so hopefully there'll be some more updates coming before Thursday, when I'm off to Reading to spend four days getting drunk in muddy fields and paying over the odds for poorly-cooked food.
