CLOVES returns with new song "Dead" and teases second album
Unveiling her first original material in over two years, Australian-born, London-based artist CLOVES hints at an impressive evolution.
Rising to fame thanks to her husky vocals and heartfelt songwriting CLOVES' early releases received adoration across the board from her 2015 EP XIII to her debut album One Big Nothing in 2018.
Stepping out with new single "Dead", this release marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the singer/songwriter born Kaity Dunstan. Of "Dead" Dunstan says “this song journeys through anxiety and how that leads to self depreciating actions."
"It not only felt like a way for me to express myself and get the heaviness out of my chest, but it also felt like the beginning of something, an opening foundation of an album and I think the idea of that creative opportunity was equally helpful to me at the time.”
Inspired by trip-hop, industrial textures and early Nelly Furtado, the omnious soundscape of "Dead" hints at CLOVES' new sonic world. An exciting new direction for the rest of the album to follow, CLOVES says of the forthcoming body of work “in terms of a mental place, this record came from a dystopia.”
