The Cloves are currently in the studio teamed up producer Shawn Simmons and orchestra arranger Eyvind Kang (Blonde Redhead) recording their long awaited first full studio album.
The band quickly made a name for themselves in the Seattle music scene. After only playing six shows with a full lineup, they played Seattle's famous Showbox Theater, only to then sell out The Triple Door for their debut EP release show.
The Cloves debut EP, Waiting For The World To Be, was very well received by radio stations and critics alike. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote, "Vocal harmonies define the Cloves' sound. Layers on layers of them appear on this debut EP, sweet and expertly put together." Local radio stations 103.7 KMTT The Mountain and 90.3 KEXP, also quickly took notice of The Cloves.The Mountain honored the band by naming them Local Access Artist for the month of June 2005, featuring them live in the Mountain Music Lounge. KEXP's John Richards highlighted Waiting For The World To Be on the stations Top 10 Northwest releases.
The nucleus of the band, Michael Hochstatter (vocals, guitar) and Kevin Poleskie (vocals, bass), come from a town by the name of Sumner, just 30 miles outside Seattle. Hochstatter and Poleskie spent their childhood together, growing up on the same street and began writing songs together while in high school. Shortly there after the two formed the band.
