Clifford is a band from Boston.



"It feels as though Clifford has arrived with Golden Caravan. The Boston based slowcore band have pulled out all the stops, embracing their molasses dripped dynamic shifts and weary melodies with a sense of comfort and confidence. The songwriting is gorgeous, the tonality is warm, and their lapses into heavier territory feel both natural and eye opening." —Post-Trash

“Seeking to drive a through-line between the terse, nervy post-punk and the freer flowing folkisms on which they’ve built the brand, this record feels both like a culmination to those who’ve been paying attention, and perhaps a proper introduction to the as-yet uniniated. Out today on Sipsman, it will surely stand among the finest collections of rock music you’ll hear out of Boston (or even the country) this year.” —Allston Pudding

“Electrified melodic folk that draws as much from Pile and Horse Jumper of Love as Big Thief and Crazy Horse.” —Bandcamp

 

The quartet comprising of Miles Chandler (he/they), Ben Curell (he/him), Danny Edlin (he/him), and Nate Scaringi (they/them) have shared “Ink Blot,” a new song revealed to be from their second album Golden Caravan, released July 25 via Sipsman—preorder via Bandcamp or your favorite independent record shop


“As 'C Song' progresses, sludgy guitar and strained vocals transform into a desolate singalong." —The Alternative




“Ink Blot” features backing vocals from Mei Semones, and arrives with a music video culled from Clifford show footage around their hometown of Boston.
 


Golden Caravan closes with “Sugar Pill,” released last month with a lyric video as a standalone single.
