Having forged a reputation for their fiery live shows following gigs with Lottery Winners, Courteeners and The Reytons
as well as attracting huge festival crowds at The Isle of Wight, Truck and Tramlines, The Clause now fulfill their immense
potential with their debut album ‘Victim of a Casual Thing’.
Following in the chart success of the likes of The K’s and The Royston Club, the Birmingham four-piece are the next band
to prove that indie-rock thrills speak to a new generation. As we’ve heard on recent singles ‘Nothing’s As It Seems’ and
‘Elisha’, they excel at stirring, hook-heavy anthems built for pints-in-the-air chaos at gigs and festivals alike. But elsewhere
- especially on their latest track ‘Tell me What You Want’ - they’re also masters of big riffs and sleek grooves which feel
like their era’s answer to the likes of Foals and Bloc Party.
While ‘Victim of a Casual Thing’ is their debut, it also features some of the moments which have soundtracked their rise
so far. Their breakthrough moment ‘In My Element’ and fellow live favourite ‘I Don’t Care’ still shine with youthful
attitude and instant accomplishment. But it also presents much more of a bigger future to come: see the slow-burning
grandeur of ‘Exception’ or the folk-tinged balladeering of ‘Pink Moon’ for evidence. All roads lead to ‘Don’t Blink’ which
constantly builds in stature to sign-off on a joyous note.
And there’s plenty to relate to throughout the course of the record. It’s packed full of stories of daring to dream and
wanting more from life; of fleeting connections and faltering romances; of wild nights and the next morning’s recovery.
It’s the sound of four still-youthful friends continuing a dream they’ve shared since they were sixteen-years-old. Where
it will eventually take them is yet to be written, but doing precisely what they want in the here-and-now is all that
matters.
