Clues was founded in the summer of 2007 by Alden Penner (one-third of the Unicorns) and Brendan Reed (Endless Forever, Arcade Fire). In 2008, Clues recruited friends Ben Borden, Lisa Gamble, and Nick Scribner from the Montreal art and music scenes.
During live shows and on recordings, the band share and trade-off on their extensive collection of instruments and create a hopeful, urgent music that expands Montreal’s (already diverse) pop music lexicon, with references to post-punk and experimental music traditions. Clues’ concerts incorporate multiple drummers, a Commodore 64, and an OLPC.
Their debut record was released by Constellation in May 2009.

Agreed. Clues is extremely underrated. Their self titled album is awesome. "Crows" and "Ledmonton" are probably my favorites, but the whole thing is just fantastic. ♥

I believe Clues are on hiatus, but may be working on new material. Alden's current musical project (with Jamie Thompson) is called The Hidden Words: http://hddnwrds.wordpress.com/

Hopefully Alden Penner won't give up with this project after only one album.
