[LISTEN] Clay - Stay Calm!

Clay have returned to the stage with a brand new track, "Stay Calm!". The new track is high infectious and see's the quartet from Leeds delve into more of an electronic sound compared to their other tracks. They've now got a lot of spunk, edge and a whole load of attitude, Clay have really made a funky indie-pop anthem for the 10's!


The band said - "When writing this track we wanted a very deep sound sonically. Musically we touched upon people we admire like Michael Jackson for influence. There’s obvious nods with the groove of the track. It’s written from an obsessive viewpoint you know, that idealistic thought of being in love. One of the lines ‘Im not gonna change the world overnight’ is almost justification for the lyric it precedes, that sort of unsure/ indecisive mindset. But whatever, Stay Calm!"

Clay have revealed their next single in the shape of "Oxygen". It's their third track to see to come out from the band after their triumphant début single and it's brilliant b-side. It's yet another summery anthem waiting to be unleashed here, with lashes of beautiful guitar melodies, funky bass lines and harmonics we can only compare to Jungle, listen to it below.

Introducing... Clay

In October last year we gave you an exclusive first play of Clay's début track "Sun Dance", and since then the Leeds foursome have gone from strength to strength. Playing shows all over the UK, including at some brand new scenes such as Hertford, they're pioneers in the making.  So to the band itself, they're first track "Sun Dance" is a real summer jam with some soulful flairs and beautifully held vocals laced with echoes of early Indie-Pop. They've had a sudden uprising as the one and only Zane Lowe has hand picked them for his 'Next Hype' section.


They're certainly a band that knows how to brand themselves, and they're one of the few bands that gets the whole social media thing - and trust me, these days it's a good thing! Clay are one of the hottest properties on the 'un-signed' market right about now, with shows dotted all over the UK they're sure to be popping by yours soon, and trust me, if you like what you hear now - you'll love what they're going to be doing soon!

Stream Clay's b-side "Cream" [IAI PREMIÈRE]

We were the first site to post about their début single, and now today we've got their B-Side too! "Cream" is far from the A-Side, this track has a wash of beautifully held vocals, delicate organs and lovely guitar tones. A rather chilled back track from a band that's setting out to BURST onto the scene next year!

Clay unveil début track "Sun Dance" [IAI PREMIÈRE]

Clay have given us the première of their brand spanking new song "Sun Dance", and boy are we liking the funk they've brought to our ears. The new four-piece who are from Leeds come from one of the best places in the UK for new music, and they're certainly living up to the billing as this track is a great number to launch their new band off.


Yes that's right, the band are fresh out of the starting blocks and are setting to take the local scene by storm then the rest of the country! The video has a certain DIY approach to it, with clips of 90's VHS footage pieced together it gives the band a great image to start off with, a low budget video that looks professional thanks to the sweet sounding song! Keep an eye on this band would you! This funky indie sound is making it way slowly into the radio!
