Clay

On 'Clay', producer Matthew Herbert and vocalist Momoko Gill create a soulful and rhythmically complex album that blends experimental electronic production with elements of jazz, house, and soul. Herbert’s production is noted for its use of found sounds, including basketballs and Japanese kotos, creating a stripped-back yet intricate sonic landscape that feels organic and tactile. Gill’s dexterous, melodic vocals and polyrhythmic drumming provide an ethereal and emotional core, navigating with a tender and plaintive quality through soundscapes that shift between introspective moods and subtle dancefloor-oriented grooves.
