A new breed of Hip-hop/acid jazz from Des Moines, Iowa, Cleo’s Apartment is the house party you never want to leave. With tenants playing turntables, keyboards, and live drums, the Apartment takes cues from Public Enemy, Miles Davis, Portishead, The Roots and everything in between to produce a sound foreign to corn and sure to keep a crowd panting for more.
Listening to Cleo's is sort of analogous to stumbling upon a basement full of old vinyl. So many rich sounds are available to your ears, and every time you start idly browsing, you hear something you've never heard before. Combining elements of soul, hip hop, jazz, rock, and storytelling, Cleo's is a veritable bottomless pit of potential
Cleo’s has shared the stage with performers like Brother Ali, Mike Giles, Maxilla Blue, Roxi Copland, Martin Dosh, Colourmusic, Algernon, Small Sails, The Blend, and Tommy Doggett, to name a few on a substantial list of goods and greats.
Within the first minute of any song, the listener knows they’ve found something intense and different. From track to track, Cleo’s Apartment sends sounds anywhere from sweat-inducing drum and bass grooves to the cool collapse of a Rhodes keyboard. From start to finish, Cleo’s will grab a crowd and not let go until the last record has been scratched.
