I’m sick of not singing
I’ll burn my own tongue
We’ll go down into the basement
And see what I’ve done
Dallas-based post-industrial noise rock outfit All Clean just dropped a music video for their track See What I’ve Done from their self-released debut album, Down from the Inner Work.
See What I’ve Done is a gritty gut punch of self-doubt laced with stubborn defiance. It speaks of a person wrestling with their fears and frustrations, feeling cornered but hell-bent on breaking free, no matter the fallout. It’s a tale of pure anger and steely resolve, a battle against forces that seek to shackle and destroy, even if it means standing alone in the wreckage. The eerie, high-pitched guitar strings and haunting chants evoke the terror of sleep paralysis and that relentless grip of small, insidious thoughts keeping you up at night. Guilt, dread, the creeping horror that you’ve crossed a line and are now the hunted—these feelings are laid bare in every note, driving home the sense that the fight for freedom is as much against oneself as it is against the world.
The nightmarish video, directed by Colton Batts, takes its cues from red and green lit Italian Giallo horror and the surreal stylings of David Lynch. Batts weaves a series of menacing, nonlinear vignettes, playing on slasher and supernatural horror tropes. The result is a chilling visual journey through an unsolved mystery, where fear lurks in every shadow, and the line between reality and nightmare blurs into oblivion.

Conceived in 2018 as a solo venture by multi-instrumentalist Zachary Edwards (Oil Boom, Son of Stan), All Clean digs deep into the gritty trenches of anxiety, using dissonant guitar riffs, eerie synth lines, grimy bass grooves, and pounding rhythms.
Their debut album, Down from the Inner Work, was recorded and mixed by Alex Bhore (This Will Destroy You, Power Trip) at Elmwood Studio in Dallas, Texas, and mastered by Dave Cooley (Deafheaven, Madvillain) at Elysian Masters in Los Angeles, California.
Down From The Inner Work is out on August 30th, 2024. Listen below and order the album here.
Released on August 30th, 2023, the album sees Edwards joined by Charli Mireles (Sub-Sahara) on guitar and synth, bassist Miguel Santana, and drummer Cole Austin. Together, they deliver a relentless sound that mirrors the restless energy and unease simmering beneath the surface. The band’s music is a jagged journey through the darker corridors of the mind, where tension and turmoil take center stage.
The band will perform a headlining set to celebrate the video release at Doublewide located at 3510 Commerce in Dallas, Texas on August 24 at 10 p.m.
