CLT DRP announce new album Nothing Clever, Just Feelings
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 8 June 2023
CLT DRP have announced that they will release their new album, ‘Nothing Clever, Just Feelings’, later this year. Out now is the title track of the record.
“This is the title track for a reason”, says vocalist Annie Dorrett of the new single. “Desperation, anger, confusion – ALL the feelings. I think I spent a lot of time when I was younger trying to be clever about lyrics. I wanted to try and be witty or something ‘mature’”.
“As a younger woman in the industry, I felt like I wasn’t going to be taken seriously writing the way I did”, she explains. “I quickly realised that the music I listen to the most is nothing like that, so why would I try and emulate something I don’t even listen to?”
“The lyrics I connect with are always straightforward emotions or familiar scenarios that I can identify right away when I first hear a song”, she goes on. “Being present in the lyrics and emotions are important to me as a lyricist. I want you in the car with your friends screaming the lyrics at full blast cursing your ex! That’s what this song is supposed to do”.
Of the album as a whole, she adds: “Overall, this album embodies our true ethos of self-expression. Equally chaotic and hypnotic, it’s meant to be blasted in the car at full volume while you curse your ex, your past ghosts, and you celebrate your cherished independence while you have it”.
‘Nothing Clever, Just Feelings’ is out on 8 Sep. Watch the video for the title track here:
