Canadian-born and Italian-based musician Jonathan Clancy (notice the idea behind his moniker?) is about to have his first full-length release on Fat Cat Records this fall.
His new album Vicious will be out on October 7 in the UK (October 8 in the US) and Clancy himself has described it as a sassy dreamy glam rock’n’roll album. If that didn’t pique your interest, he has also teamed up with producer Chris Koltay, who has previously worked with the likes of Liars, Atlas Sound, Lotus Plaza, Akron/Family and Dirtbombs.
The first taste of the album comes from the catchy psych-pop tune entitled Zenith Diamond, which is supposed to serve as a personal reminder that you are always worth something and you are not to give up. I have to say that with such immediate guitars, clattering drums and an unexpected piano outro I am glad to remind myself every day.
