Clean Cut Kid- 2016 to 2017


Clean Cut Kid have released their album and it is just in time for summer!

What a year this band has had! I first interviewed them back in 2015 at a venue that held probably no more than 100 people as they toured supporting Fickle Friends. Now one year later, they have just begun their own UK tour and dropped their newest album, Felt. Waiting patiently for this album was very much worth it, it does not disappoint.

As well as including some of their older tracks which have now been remastered, there are plenty of new tracks which live up to expectations and more. The great thing about this album is that there is a song for pretty much every occasion. Driving to the beach? Play vitamin C. Feeling a bit sad and mellow? Play Brother of Mine. Sat in the garden having a BBQ? Play Pick Me Up. You get the picture, this album has everything it needs.

I often wonder what it is about this band that makes me enjoy listening to them so much. Most people might just say "well they are just good" or "I like their music", but for this band I think it is definitely a collection of features that makes them so enjoyable to listen to. You can tell each song is carefully prepared and has meaning to them personally, which I think can sometimes be lost in this musical day and age. This is far from the case with this band and that is what makes them so captivating to listen to.  

5/5 for this amazing band. Fun, original, and more 'clean cut' than ever, I cannot wait to see what is next!
