Clay Brown – “All My Friends (Atrophy)”

“All My Friends (Atrophy)” by Clay Brown is beautiful and easy to follow. This track is like sitting around a campfire with your closest friends, talking about the hard stuff and just being together.

It’s gorgeous guitar work without being flashy. From the first line, Clay’s voice carries this raw honesty that pulls you right in. Clay’s Perth-bred storytelling is evident, but you can hear influences from artists like City & Colour. The song is slowly building, allowing each instrument to breathe and paint this picture of reaching out when everything feels heavy.

The recording between London and Perth gives the track this interesting texture, there’s polish where it needs it, but the home-recorded elements keep it feeling intimate and real. Clay Brown & the Trouble Round Town is his new band and they bring serious talent to back up his vision. The lead guitar adds layers without getting in the way of the story and the rhythm section locks in perfectly.
