Meat Of Life

Conjuring a sweet and lusciously melancholy sound that merges the tunefulness of vintage pop, the late-night vibe of cool jazz, the lonesome spirit of classic country, and the delicate touch of folk, Clem Snide are a trio hailing from New York, NY and Nashville, TN. The band's newest offering The Meat of Life contains twelve songs that further showcase the wry, intimate, sometimes angst-filled observations of songwriter and frontman Eef Barzeley. As the weighty title would suggest, there's a depth of lyrical subject matter that Barzelay deftly presents alongside his streamlined band. The songs exude a variety of moods in their trademark angularity and carefully crafted style-somehow comfortingly familiar, yet imbued with a newfound energy and focus.
