From 1-5 Jan 2020 we did some basic tracks at a studio in Melbourne. It all got shelved soon after for obvious reasons. Mid-2021 I turned it into an album of sorts in my downtime. Most of it had been pretty much in the ground as far as I was concerned but it occurred to me that in order to kill off these past couple of zombie years you fight pale fire with pale fire, like for like, so it was all eventually quite fit for re-animation. I hope you get some good out of it and have a sweet time over the holidays. Take care from all of us at AM, xG

Limited edition LP and CD, plus digital, available exclusively via the Augie March shop.
Thanks to The Guardian who featured Clay within their Best New Music for January.
Glenn Richards weaves the most delicate melodies on which to drop his weighty lyrical concepts: on love, life, loss and all the other big Ls that have concerned poets for millennia. Augie March has never betrayed a sense of their own time, with ornate arrangements, antiquated language and songs that slowly unfurl as if being pedalled out through a dusty pianola roll. The result is a masterful next chapter for one of Australia’s true treasures.
