"London Clay tiptoes along the line between hooky UK post-punk/DIY and super experimental UK post-punk/DIY, with just the right mixture of each for my tastes - I might make it Record of the Week sometime soon and talk about it at greater length."

Recently I asked Drew Daniel of Matmos /Soft Pink Truth to consider a question: what good is making music while the world slides inexorably into disaster.

In response he wrote an essay for tQ that should be of great interest to anyone creating art in the face of global events.

Thanks Adam, glad you liked the London Clay album enough to make it your top album of 2025!
1. London Clay - Private View

Gauzy, gothy, synthy goodness. Feels otherworldly at times, but keeps you engaged with its many layers. Different moods present throughout. You’ll likely hear something new every time through it. My top album of 2025. lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/privat...

Charity shops continue to disappoint but the second-hand bookshop in Blackheath had this original Videodrome film poster stashed at the back.

Absolute genius and supreme attention to detail about Croydon's historical geography (the Polish shop!). I love Jimmy Mac.

New review from Repressed Records, NSW:

'London Clay might be the best skewed British synth-pop since The Bomber Jackets. Minimal in sound, dense in ideas, gets the imagination going.'

(There are a few left over on bandcamp, link in bio)
London Clay - Private View LP
Becoming engrossed by the debut album by London Clay has made me think about the working class origins of synth-pop. How it was easier to transport a synthesizer from the post-war public housing flat ...

London Clay hits Japan! diskunion-shinjukualternative.blog.jp/archives/291... LONDON CLAY have been noted for bridging the gap between DIY punk and synth music, resonating with conceptual UK electronic music of their generation, such as Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan.

New London Clay review: Drawing on the boundless energy of electronic pulses that serve as a reliable conduit for artistic creativity, from Cabaret Voltaire to Autechre, by way of Powell and Holy Balm, London Clay skilfully crafts a universe that is both dramatic and captivating. Merci!
