Newspieces
A Closer Listen (UK) – fall preview electronic: “Detuned piano, mangled vocals and trippy beats coalesce on stay, temporary home, the debut album from Arthur Clees. The tracks dance just beyond the reach of radio, but ‘Afterdance’ may make it through.”

FBi Radio 94.5 FM Sydney (AUS) – Utility Fog, 15.10.2023: “Here we have Luxembourg vibraphonist, drummer, pianist, and vocalist Arthur Clees with a solo album of great restraint. If I told you it was a cross between Dntel’s indietronica circa Life Is Full Of Possibilities, Herbert’s always jazz-inflected glitch-pop, and James Blake’s soulful song-shadows, you might get the idea? I think it lives up to those comparisons too. These are fragmented song-shapes, with cut-up voice and instruments, beats that drop in halfway through songs, and an air of wistfulness.
