The Clown is a superb unheard-of singer songwriter whose name is Henrik Andersson. He performed a show once while dressed as a clown and poof the name was born. Ten songs on the album, ten buttons on the album cover, ten fingers, ten toes. One clown. He was the founding member of Ray Wonder, who I don't know much about, but apparently Beck was quoted once as saying they were his favorite band at the time and he picked them up to support him on a UK tour. Right now their live acts involve three girls and two guys but that's not concrete and they may add more. It's good stuff.

thanks for introducing me to this. I loved ray wonder and haven't got my fill of Henrik's voice and melodies. Ray Wonder's "A New Kind of Love" is one of my 5 or 10 all-time favorites. Right up ther with Eggstone's "Vive La Difference!"
