Clear Spot


Clear Spot were a short-lived instrumental combo comprising drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig from My Bloody Valentine, guitarist Simon Johns of Stereolab and future Heliocentrics member Mike Burnham on keyboards. In 1998 the trio released their one and only 7" single on Stereolab's Duophonic label, the rather fab 'Moonman Bop'.

I like it, like it a lot. I'm guessing it's the drummer's band?

Can't say I know this one either. Came out during my wilderness years. Quite like it though.

I love this record. As a huge MBV fan this is up there as one of the best side projects IMO.
