“The Boston-based foursome cranks a sound that’s piled up with overtones like Ovlov but canted a bit towards cosmic country,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7922412... @sipsman.com

great song on caroline's new album:

good rhyme imo

Clifford's tour starts today with a hometown release show at @deepcutsrocks.bsky.social who brewed them a golden ale for the occasion called Golden Caravan www.instagram.com/p/DMyhoiCMjEw/

crazy to think that a movie review on a music site gets more clicks than an album review on a music site. but apparently that's the case?

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Listening to covers of let's stay together and judging them solely on how they handle the bridge

"The third single on their upcoming album, Golden Caravan, oozes with malaise. As 'C Song' progresses, sludgy guitar and strained vocals transform into a desolate singalong." Clifford's in The Alternative's Alt Weekly Roundup >>> www.getalternative.com/the-alt-week...

"'C Song,' the record’s third single highlights the later aspect of their sound, soaring yet gnarled, intricate yet primal, it’s indie rock with badass heft. Heart and muscle, brain and brawn." @post-trash.bsky.social on Clifford's latest from Golden Caravan post-trash.com/news/2025/6/...
