Today the Cups N Cakes Network is excited to premiere the final single from clay pigeon’s forthcoming album, Cash Out in Kid Gloves. This Montreal act is songwriting project of Canadian musician James Clayton. Backed by a band of pals, the project weaves alt-country, folk-rock, and pop together to craft a warm tapestry that will embrace you through the cold winter to come.
Following the success of their debut album, The Aching Taste of Blue, clay pigeon sought to explore the tension between human performance and synthetic intervention. During recording, the band didn’t shy away from any imperfections in their performance. Instead, they embraced them and deliberately disrupted their takes with processing, edits, and obvious post production. The idea behind the process was to explore the growing uncertainty of man vs. machine by wrapping an alt-country/folk rock band in synthetic layers.
Cash Out in Kid Gloves arrives this Friday (November 7th) and we are pleased to share the track “Apart” a few days early. The tune arrives today with the help of a video directed by Evangelos Desborough. The black and white video follows a solitary figure wandering through deserted streets, industrial spaces, and quiet rural landscapes. Interspersed with ominous skies, fleeting imagery, and grainy, distorted visuals, the goal was to capture a sense of isolation and disorientation that mirrors the song's reflections on distance and disconnection.
