Overtime at the office. Smile. Co-workers talk behind your back.

Lixer and Splash Soldier Splendid mumble, scream and narrate the 9-5 routine.

Tales of class issues and discrimination are being force-fed through arcade- and cotton candy machines. Kermis.

Their voices glide and sink into oversaturated soundscapes of daily news, empty words, and bland, oily meals.

Violently sweet, sonic patchworks of life in the matrix emerge.

The government watches.

[Circling the Monopoly Board]

A rollercoaster rides through your friendly neighbourhood. All is well. > Barrel roll onto the flipside of trimmed front yards, picket fences and social niceties. Beware of the dog.

£​$​₿ navigate through toxic environments. Camouflaged with masculinity, blending into the shadows, secretly scanning their allies through the checkout. Surveilled. Before they disappear into the feed we catch a glimpse of their sensitive selves.

Val Clipp; crooked silver butterfly, april 2025

Out now on C28 cassette & digital

005 / 27 mins runtime

I just reflect. I just reflect. I just reflect. I just reflect.

Phrases and vocal snippets repeat their way through 'used to be‘ like familiar mantras. Aaliyah, SWV and Whitney Houston sing their melancholic love songs over and over again on ghostly remains of once shiny and lush instrumentals. Blurred memories of late night phone calls, intimate moments, glances and conversations, are scattered over the pieces on Val Clipp’s second album on Off Center.

While we slowly wade through and pass out at the end, we ask ourselves;

What used to be?

You tell me. You tell me.

Recorded April 2019, except 'Rain reflects', originally recorded December 2017
