On Clipping’s new album, the trio “take timbres more befitting of harsh noise, industrial and extreme electronic productions and mould them into body-popping funk.”
In other words, hard industrial hip-hop is the name of the game, though CLPPNG never becomes difficult to the point where it’s too much of a slog to replay. Clipping’s latest video, for ‘Story 2’, is equally intense: opening on stuttering shots of feet and closing with a fiery climax. Like past videos ‘Bout That’ and ‘Bullshit’, it’s directed by Cristina Bercovitz.
Clipping will play Jabberwocky festival this August in London; CLPPNG is out now.
