Clay Class

Long-awaited 2012 sophomore album from the Alt-Rock duo. Tobin Prinz (voice, guitar, drums) and Suzi Horn (voice, bass, drums) were determined to bring in some color and some tenderness to their second album. 'If you're going to face up to really difficult underlying themes,' says Prinz, 'sometimes the best way to do that is to let a bit of optimism in there.' It's hard to think of a band whose music gives a more thrillingly clear picture of what living in the 21st century is actually like. And from the livid call and response of 'Your Fire Has Gone Out' to the sensual domestic harmony of 'Sing Orderly,' this not-so-difficult second album will entrance skeptics and re-convert the converted.
