London Clay are in the new issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social - if I haven't bored you enough in real life about ceramics, dystopian cities and William Mitchell, then maybe go find a copy at your local print media outlet of choice. Shout out to Leah for the interview and The Wire for asking us!
Screen grab of the Staff Picks from the Sorry State Newsletter including the London Clay LP at the top left corner.
"London Clay tiptoes along the line between hooky UK post-punk/DIY and super experimental UK post-punk/DIY, with just the right mixture of each for my tastes - I might make it Record of the Week sometime soon and talk about it at greater length."

LONDON-BASED ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, PERFORMERS!
Anyone interested in playing an (unpaid) gig mid/end Feb? Broadly experimental vibes.
It's in an art-gallery in Vauxhall. Something that engages with the theme of 'law / dissensus / protest' would be ideal but not required.
Get in touch if interested!

1. London Clay - Private View
Gauzy, gothy, synthy goodness. Feels otherworldly at times, but keeps you engaged with its many layers. Different moods present throughout. Youโll likely hear something new every time through it. My top album of 2025. lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/privat...
New review from Repressed Records, NSW:
'London Clay might be the best skewed British synth-pop since The Bomber Jackets. Minimal in sound, dense in ideas, gets the imagination going.'
(There are a few left over on bandcamp, link in bio)
Taking inspiration from the suburban London landscape of concrete footbridges and apartment blocks, LONDON CLAY has updated post-punk sensibilities with industrial beats and minimalist keyboards. Even within the LA VIDA ES UN MUS catalog, they've been noted for bridging the gap between DIY punk and synth music, resonating with conceptual UK electronic music of their generation, such as WARRINGTON RUNCORN NEW TOWN DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

Snippet of the Suzie Marlowe 7" review, 3/5 stars
New review of the Suzie Marlowe 7" in Shindig! - is it genuine or an elaborate post-modern put-on?
New London Clay review: Drawing on the boundless energy of electronic pulses that serve as a reliable conduit for artistic creativity, from Cabaret Voltaire to Autechre, by way of Powell and Holy Balm, London Clay skilfully crafts a universe that is both dramatic and captivating. Merci!
Sorry for being boring but London Clay feature in the Analog Attack best punk albums of 2025
London Clay feature in the best punk albums of 2025! If you like the idea of listening to the futuristic sound of a weird diy hybrid of Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, Human League then maybe have a listen...

Click to read the full review: London Clay - The atmosphere is an ever shifting one โ claustrophobic yet expansive, immersive yet resolutely allusive. It sweeps from the throbbing dark wave of Desire Lines to the languorously shimmering, Jesu-like shoegaze of Apricity.

From weighty out-jazz poetry to a dream pop / post rock wormhole, via mutating synth grids, a record fuelled by hatred of the โthe music industryโ and more โ it can only be Noel Gardnerโs latest guide to the best of New Weird Britain

London Clay: post-punk electronics explore the capitalโs dreams and malaise Tom Phelan @tgphelan1 Tue 4 November 2025 8:00, UK The crowded convergence of post-punk and minimal-synth always works best when conjuring the anxieties of the day. Amid a vast swathe of uninspired tape hiss noodles clogging Bandcamp or listless drum machine flumps that shuffle aimlessly in a dispassionate fug, a duo like London Clay can rise from the fraught capitalโs troubled energy and remind you just how powerful the industrial underground can be.Drawing on totemic examples set by Cabaret Voltaire or Suicideโs dilapidated electronics with the faint echo of From Nursery to Miseryโs artful naivety, London Clayโs concrete synthwave scores a wholly contemporary urban milieu weathered, exhausted, and knackered by austerityโs perpetuity. The atmosphere is dark, the tensions subtle but stark, and each icy synth slice or brittle snare whip anxiously edges like a cornered animal. Behind their overcast swirl and leaden DIY collages lies a visceral electricity pointing toward a realm teeming with disparate energy belied by their mordant front, however.
