A young singer-songwriter from Western Australia now based on the east coast, Clay Western's latest release is the super-smooth, super-vibing, super-laidback 'Nothing Lasts'.
Gorgeous indie rock tones swarm over a tranquil melody that entices with its charisma as Clay's honey-dewed vocals offer you an escape from the noise and distractions of everyday life.'Nothing Lasts' was produced and engineered by San Cisco's Jordi Davieson and Josh Biondillo out of their home studio in Fremantle, and was mixed by Clay's close friend and longtime collaborator Dylan Ollivierre (The Money War), with mastering completed by Andrew Edgeson (Thelma Plum, Matt Corby) from Studios 301.
"I feel like 'Nothing Lasts' is as, if not more, relevant to me now than it was when I was first writing it," shares Clay.
"When we were writing the track, I was in a pretty volatile place. I was leaving everything I had become comfortable with in life and jumping into the unknown.
"From then through to the present, having moved to Byron and now Sydney within a four-month period, I've learnt that you never know where life will take you.
"I feel like I'm learning to be comfortable living in the unknown. You have to throw yourself into situations and just hope for the best sometimes. These are the things I feel people grow from."
Here, Clay shares five artists in his current orbit that he reckons you should know more about.
