honest songs from the heart that slip over the border into the noisier-side of "alt-country/rock/pop" (if it must be labeled)

Details:
WHY MAKE CLOCKS recorded their second album, "MIDWESTERN FILM" in June of 2005. It was mostly recorded over 4 days in Tucson, AZ at Wavelab Recording Studio by Craig Schumacher, known for engineering albums by the likes of Neko Case, Giant Sand, Calexico, Iron and Wine and countless others. The rest was recorded by the band in their studio.

Through the diversity of the 10 songs on "Midwestern Film" and the immediate/live sound of the recording itself, WHY MAKE CLOCKS have created a broad, open musical landscape that provides fertile ground for lyrical honesty and the overall thematic tone of the record.

MIXING by Craig Schumacher at Wavelab in Tucson, AZ
