neu waves presents summer series with Tugboat Captain with support from Conor Clements and TBA at The Deco
// Tugboat Captain //
As David Byrne famously said, “home, that’s where I want to be”, and this is a sentiment that’s shared by London-based purveyors of Baroque indie-pop, Tugboat Captain. Their new album, ‘Dog Tale’ is a record built around the multidimensional idea of home. On the one hand it finds chief lyricist, Sox, musing on the ephemeral nature of living in London in your mid-late twenties, and on the other it’s an album that was written and recorded in the band’s spiritual home and recording studio, Ctrl P ,which Sox and bassist Joshua Cobb run together.
// Conor Clements //
Perhaps known to some for being the frontman and primary songwriter of art-punk band Hallan, Conor has recently came to attention writing and performing his own original material. Releasing the single "A Spoonful of Sugar" in 2022, the Portsmouth based artist garnered a small and unexpected following after the track received over 50,000 streams on Spotify. Subsequently, he is back with his band performing live and releasing new material.
This new audible vehicle allows the songwriter to take on a fresh and more intimate form, sharing with his audience a more personal side to his songwriting. Reflecting his own musical taste and inspirations more accurately than ever, Clements' solo material embraces a new found sense of freedom and brings with it both renewed enthusiasm and warm character.
