While their previous albums followed grand, concept-driven structures, clipping.’s latest project feels more like a mixtape – an expertly assembled collection of tracks, each one paying tribute to a potential present. ‘Dead Channel Sky’ feels sharp and timeless, evoking a sense of déjà vu for both the past and the future. This tension between the digital and the physical lies at the heart of the album, questioning whether virtual worlds are any less real than our own. With that, clipping. constructs a vision of a present-future that’s loud, tense, and impossible to ignore.
