Bask in the Analogue Warmth of Post-Punk Outfit Clone’s New Video for “Immutable”

As the summer heads toward a blistering conclusion and the days slowly begin to get shorter, my ears tend to gravitate to layers of distortion, six strings that ring true in night, and energetic reverberations chock full of sound and fury. Brooklyn, NY’s Clone have recently released an album that delivers on all of these late summer night’s dreams in CL. 1, their debut on Little Cloud Records / 5BC Records. The band, consisting of Dead Leaf Echo frontman LG Galleon, Gregg Giufree (Pilot to Gunner), Max Idas and Dominick Turi (with members of The Veldt and Namesake augmenting the live lineup), taps into the heavy angular energy of Sonic Youth and Gang of Four, with some of the same fiery political leanings as the latter. The combination of post-punk passion and shoegaze textures adds an equally captivating and welcome emotional weight to each of the album’s ten tracks. The band has just released a video for the album’s latest single, “Immutable,” a driving track with punchy percussion, razor sharp guitars, and descending, blissful melodies.

Guitarist and vocalist LG Galleon offers a few words on the track:

“This song is about us. The 99% that is working to keep it all moving forward. The history of the poor has never truly been told.” ‘Immutable’ is the story of the 99% and how the 1% take it all from the masses.”

Check out the video, directed by Preston Spurlock and shot entirely on VHS below, check out the full CL 1 album below, and be sure to catch Clone live in the coming weeks:
