The Cle Elum are definitely not losing their edge on "Old Folks."

What timing! I was literally listening to ht new album from musical duo The Cle Elum yesterday, and as a track titled "Old Folks" came on I started laugh-crying; the lyrics were playful and smart but also wickedly self-deprecating and rather spot-on.* I actually searched for a stream of that song yesterday—I was so impressed by it I wanted to share it immediately—but it was not yet available. Fast-forward a few hours to this morning and BLAMMO, there was an email in my inbox announcing the debut of The Cle Elum's video for said song.

More on this album to come from me on Third Coast Review closer to its release date, but I couldn't wait to potentially turn a few of you onto this tune. Enjoy!

*Inside baseball tidbit? Often when you get promos of new albums, the tracks still have the names from the mastering process, or from when there were different mixes still under consideration. So I think it's worth noting that in those files, the working title for "Old Folks" was "Old Fucks." Both titles perfectly capture the sentiment of the song.
