David C Clements has been a critics’ favourite ever since the release of his 2016 debut record, ‘The Longest Day in History’.
Eight years later, the artist is still delivering stunning sounds, and today’s unveiling of the new single ‘Already Here’ is yet another gorgeous piece of music.
A beautifully constructed alt-folk production complements Clements’ powerful and heartfelt vocals as he sings about a romance drifting. The musician elaborates:
“‘Already Here’ is in essence a break up song. A parting of ways, not with a person, but with a system of belief and finding great peace in that. The track is a classic ‘build and release’ song which the producer Jacknife Lee created, not with the typical big band sound that I was tempted to use, but with taking a live band sound and messing with it. Making it weird. There’s drums, but they follow unusual patterns. Instead of crashing cymbals there’s synths opening up. In many ways it sets the tone for the album so for us it had to be the opening track.”
New project ‘The Garden’ is out on 20th September, followed by an album launch show at Ulster Hall on 6th October – tickets here.
