If you’re in the mood for some quirky indie-pop, then we’ve got a talent from the UK to share with you today called Xav Clarke.
Despite being a new name to most, Clarke is actually an award-winning composer who is no stranger to the music world. His new single, ‘None Of It’s Yours Anyway’, is a brilliant sound that is not only refreshingly unique but also really fun in its style of production.
‘At the time I was writing songs for an indie documentary, and this song was initially just a late-night brain dance that I sang and strummed into my cassette recorder.“ I forgot about it and discovered it again for the album sessions. I took it into the studio with Mike, and we noticed how much momentum was latent in the song that could be brought to life!! We kept the cassette recording and built on top of it, adding drums by the amazing James Vine (of Waldo’s Gift) and turned it into a pumping bopper in the style of some of my favourite songs, like ‘Dancing In The Dark’ or ‘Just Like Heaven’.”
An upcoming album by Xav, called ‘Fossil Forest’ (produced by Mike Lindsay), is out soon, along with an accompanying tour starting 10th May in Southampton. You can check out the full schedule and get your tickets here.
