Click to read the full review: London Clay - The atmosphere is an ever shifting one – claustrophobic yet expansive, immersive yet resolutely allusive. It sweeps from the throbbing dark wave of Desire Lines to the languorously shimmering, Jesu-like shoegaze of Apricity.

Cool review of the London Clay record here, so nice to read someone else's thoughts on something we worked on for ages! Ihttps://faroutmagazine.co.uk/london-clay-post-punk-electronics-explore-capitals-dreams-and-malaise/
London Clay: post-punk electronics explore the capital’s dreams and malaise Tom Phelan @tgphelan1 Tue 4 November 2025 8:00, UK The crowded convergence of post-punk and minimal-synth always works best when conjuring the anxieties of the day. Amid a vast swathe of uninspired tape hiss noodles clogging Bandcamp or listless drum machine flumps that shuffle aimlessly in a dispassionate fug, a duo like London Clay can rise from the fraught capital’s troubled energy and remind you just how powerful the industrial underground can be.Drawing on totemic examples set by Cabaret Voltaire or Suicide’s dilapidated electronics with the faint echo of From Nursery to Misery’s artful naivety, London Clay’s concrete synthwave scores a wholly contemporary urban milieu weathered, exhausted, and knackered by austerity’s perpetuity. The atmosphere is dark, the tensions subtle but stark, and each icy synth slice or brittle snare whip anxiously edges like a cornered animal. Behind their overcast swirl and leaden DIY collages lies a visceral electricity pointing toward a realm teeming with disparate energy belied by their mordant front, however. Album cover by Al Palmer

Getting some really great responses to the new London Clay record - if you are in the US you can pre-order at Sorry State www.sorrystaterecords.com/products/lon...
Also up for pre-order on LVEUM is the debut LP from London Clay. Two songs are streaming now on LVEUM’s Bandcamp, but I’ve heard the whole thing and I am completely over the moon about it. It’s one of those records that scratches your pop itch, but the musicians shape that pop music out of sounds that are surprising and delightful. This one is out on October 24
