CLOVES,
The TVD First Date

“Where do I begin to talk about vinyl? It’s the most fulfilling way you can consume music. It sounds better, it looks great proudly displayed on your mantel, and unlike a streaming subscription or a download, you can keep it forever (if you’re responsible with your things).”

“Vinyl for me has always been a real ‘treat’ to myself or a gift from someone who knew me well. I remember when I was younger I would save all I earned from my shitty part-time jobs and buy my favourite records on vinyl. So now you know I hold vinyl to the highest regard. Here are some of my all times classics plus two songs I think people should hear—I’m not 100% sure if they’re on vinyl yet, but shh—don’t tell anyone…

Radiohead, OK Computer: I don’t care if this is the most obvious Radiohead album choice—it’s obvious because it’s fucking great. I look forward to debating with you on this topic. Plus they’ve done a repackaged anniversary edition with this lovely blue vinyl.

Fiona Apple, Tidal: Modern poetry. Fiona, to me, is one of the best lyricists of all time. She is consistently finding interesting ways to spin a concept that we’ve all thought and felt. She’s able to write from all perspectives: strength, vulnerability, madness and sadness. She encapsulates what it is to be a perfectly inconsistent human being.

Mazzy Star, So Tonight That I Might See: A ’90s absolute classic and sonically one of the biggest inspirations behind my record. Mazzy are probably the coolest, most nonchalant band of all time.

Some modern track suggestions: “Song About You” by Mike Posner…I am absolutely obsessed with this track for its beat and melody. “Watching Over” from Greta Van Fleet: a modern classic tune and band.

CLOVES, One Big Nothing: You can give it a listen if you want, no pressure. It’s going to be available on vinyl very soon, something I’m really proud of.”
