Unsigned band, The Clays, boast a smooth psychedelic sound with a rough-cut riff heavy spin, which isn’t necessarily a rarity in the alternative music scene’s current state of affairs. After hearing the first minute or so of ‘Slip and Slide’, you’re immediately led to make that Tame Impala/The Beatles circa 1967 comparison. Having said that, it doesn’t sound like a total rip off, more like a product of inspiration. Some aspects are borrowed; take the scuzzy Tame-esque guitars that seem to go off on a tangent. However, certain moments on the EP sound like an entirely different kettle of fish; 'Ricochet' being a prime example. With a vocal style claiming resonance from early noughties’ Doherty and a much more plain and simple rock ‘n’ roll vibe overall; The Clays have certainly succeeded in showing off their versatility in a mere four track EP.
Fans of Pond, Temples and Toy should definitely give The Clays a chance.
