Brooklyn-based post-punk outfit CLONE (featuring members of The Veldt, Dead Leaf Echo, Namesake and Pilot to Gunner) have announced the release of their debut album ‘CL. 1’.
To mark the announcement they have shared the lead track ‘Dividing Line’, and its accompanying video. The record will be out on June 21 via Little Cloud Records / 5BC Records. Pre-order it here.
Clone is led by LG Galleon, best known as frontman of Dead Leaf Echo. On this album, he joins forces with NYC musicians Gregg Giufree (Pilot to Gunner), Max Idas, and Dominick Turi. Live, he performs alongside Paul Liziragga (Namesake) and Alex Cox (The Veldt).
Co-produced by LG Galleon, ‘CL.1’ is a damn auspicious opening volley, completely recorded and mixed by NYC legendary producer Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans, Brian Eno, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock, Iggy Pop, Helmet, Dresden Dolls, Cop Shoot Cop) at his famed BC Studio, built by Brian Eno, and mastered by Fred Kevorkian. Clone’s lyrics involve the struggles and critiques of the working person’s daily life.
About the new single ‘Dividing Line’, LG Galleon says:
“This song is called the “Donnie” song. Yes it’s about Donald Trump. It’s when our former failed leader tried to incite a race riot during the Pandemic. The chorus goes “Get up, cause Donnie wants to start a fire, get up cause Donnie wants to start a riot, start a fire fire fire fire fire fire fight.”
