From Colombian cumbia in South America to the Middle East and Eastern Europe, this eerie and mysterious outsider/left-field/ avant-garde, unconventional electronic reggae & dub artist Elijah Minnelli—a UK maverick—has released his long-awaited new album *Clams As A Main Meal*, the follow-up to his debut album *Perpetual Musket*. This is a masterpiece LP blending strange, dark, melancholic, left-field, and folky reggae. It had been hard to find for a while, so I’m absolutely thrilled about this reissue. I highly recommend it.
Track List
Based on “Perpetual Musket”—a 2024 FatCat Records release featuring reworkings of folk songs in collaboration with reggae vocalists—this album showcases the unique, experimental artistry of the extraordinary Elijah Minnelli, resulting in a melancholic, a strange, experimental masterpiece—a work that blends Eastern European sounds, South American cumbia, calypso, and a peculiar, folksy nostalgia—has been born. Featuring UK post-punk dub master Dennis Bovell and Welsh singer Carwyn Ellis on vocals, the album also subtly incorporates elements of slow house and screw-style slow dance music.
