Can Cladders is a studio album by London-based musical project the High Llamas. [8] It was released in 2007 on Drag City. [9]
The High Llamas spent three years working on the album. [10]
The Guardian wrote that "packed with vividly coloured melodies, these songs have a luminous quality, but they also confuse the hypnotic with the repetitive, and richness of texture with gluttonous excess." [4] Exclaim! wrote that "the vibe throughout Can Cladders is too dreamily lethargic to sustain prolonged interest." [11] The Cleveland Scene wrote that the album "bubbles with a bossa-nova pulse, where cascading strings sidle up to a late-night beachside piano bar." [12]
