Indie pop songwriter Claud released two new songs today, “Wet” and “Crumbs.” Both tracks will appear on their sophomore album Supermodels, out July 14 via Saddest Factory Records. The new album follows 2021’s much-lauded Super Monster.
The two new singles give listeners a glimpse into the dynamic scope of Supermodels. “Crumbs” is a laid-back and contemplative acoustic track that gives Claud plenty of room to showcase their vocal talent. “Wet,” on the other hand, is an upbeat, ’80s-inspired synth-pop epic built around a captivating bassline and a delightfully crisp snare drum.
Of the two tracks, Claud shared: “‘Crumbs’ was born out of a couple tearful days inside, while ‘Wet’ was written in one fast sitting, the writing process as kinetic as the outcome. Writing both of these songs felt like dropping a boulder into a pond, really shaking up the way I look at myself as an artist. My hands tremble when I play these songs for people, which means I've accessed a new vulnerability in my songwriting that I hadn't gotten to before.”
