Biography

Clem Snide began in Boston in the early 1990s. It was there Eef Barzelay and good friends Eric Paul and Jason Glasser first performed under that moniker. The band dissolved when Eef Barzelay moved to New York where he briefly dabbled in the Sidewalk Café anti-folk scene before reconnecting with Glasser to reform the band and begin work on their first record “You Were A Diamond.” Their artistic… Read more in Amazon's Clem Snide Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Little ditties that hit you in big places., November 22, 2002
By 
This review is from: You Were a Diamond (Audio CD)
Listening to this CD fills you with the kind of thrilling heartbreak that a prolonged road trip with the unrequited love-of-your-life might--while her boyfriend is at the wheel. Through his sneaky lyrics and plaintive vocals, Eef Barzelay constantly elicits sad smiles. Songs like "i can't stay here tonight" and "yip/jump music" are filled with rich contradictions, heightened by the refreshingly simple texture of a snare drum, an upright bass, a cello and a rhythm guitar. Listen to this when you want to fill in the little lost moments of your day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drumless and beautiful, October 9, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: You Were a Diamond (Audio CD)
Eef Barzelay's voice on this album is so beautiful, it is impossible to put into words. As always, the lyrics are witty and imaginitive. My personal favorite songs are "Yip/Jump Music", "Lost on the River", "Chinese Baby" and Estranged Half Brother.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Welcome Release, November 18, 2002
By 
This review is from: You Were a Diamond (Audio CD)
Ghost of Fashion and Your Favorite Music were both such wonderfully rare-quality CDs that I was a tiny bit worried that Diamond wouldn't live up. However, this CD is not one iota less of a masterpiece than the other two. Because it is a re-release of an earlier out-of-print CD is no reason to ignore it.
