Wiley Red Fox



Clem Wetherall apparently used to be the receptionist at the radio station I work at, and has played and contributed to a bunch of Adelaide bands I dig so very heartily from The Keepsakes to (just-before-my-time-but-by-all-accounts-excellent) Zeta. I discovered this when putting together an 'Adelaide Band Hop' playlist during the heady Student Radio days of 2010 and found her name gracing the credits of almost half the tracks presented. She buggered off to Melbourne a while ago, but has returned on occasion for such esteemed events as the Format Festival of Song and the crowd-surfin' love-in that was The Keepsakes album launch back in April of last year.

Last but not least however, she plays music on her lonesome under the appropriately folksy moniker 'Wiley Red Fox'. 'Nothing Like It' is a simple but indisputably likeable song, building as it does over four and a half minutes of gently swelling circular guitars and harmonies around a neat, subtle vocal melody.
