New single: CLAPPER || Feels Right
The Feels Right 7″ by the brand new CLAPPER (Berlin) is the end product of a 30-hour studio lockdown by members of Küken and Slander Tongue – two bands that have made the wantlist and collection several times already. The Germans recorded three songs under the CLAPPER moniker that did not fit their respective projects, and I am definitely happy to see these tunes come to live.
Sonically, the three songs are much closer to Slander Tongues’ sleazy and glammy rock-‘n’-roll than the raw punk rock of Küken. But I’m pretty sure fans of either band will enjoy this one, as the guitar riffing here is simply too tasty and contagious to resist – not surprising as the guitar work is a shared strength of Küken and Slander Tongue.
I think I became a fan of this band after the opening guitar work of Feeling Right, then felt affirmed once the second track (Baby You Know) kicked in. And yet, I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by the final song. Get Over It showcases a power pop side of CLAPPER that is simply marvelous.
Three songs, barely seven minutes, I definitely want more from this outfit! 7″ single available through Wild Wax Records.
