Clay

Description

Matthew Herbert and drummer/singer Momoko Gill announce the release of their new album, Clay, on Strut Records, in collaboration with Accidental.A soulful and dynamic collaboration, Clay moves with agility between the dance floor and more introspective early-morning moods, recalling Herbert's iconic album Around The House, while forging an exciting new direction. Agile and open, Clay is a thrilling and boldly sonic record, signed by two of the UK's most forward-thinking artists.Revolving around Herbert's agile productions and Momoko Gill's melodic and deft songwriting ingenuity, Clay is both stripped-down and rhythmically complex, drawing inspiration from varied sources—from Japanese kotos to basketballs—to give the sound an undeniably organic feel.Blending sampling techniques, live improvisation, and lush, expansive arrangements, Clay is propelled to higher spheres by Momoko Gill's intimate vocal performance, soaring across the album's eleven tracks.
