The Clips

About Me

The Clips are getting back into it, and working on some new tunes...
"I don't usually listen to albums repeatedly over the span of a few weeks; posting daily makes that almost impossible. In the case of The Clips' debut, Matterhorn, however, I didn't have much choice. I'd gone into it expecting something very specific -- frenetic dance-pop, to be precise, entirely because of this review by Quinn of From Blown Speakers -- and when it wasn't exactly that, I had to go away from it for a few days before I could get into the proper frame of mind. When I returned, I started understanding Matterhorn's appeal, even if it wasn't completely what I'd been looking for in the first place. From there, it just took several listens per week over the next few weeks, and I was converted."
