Clean Cut Kid already was the title of a Bob Dylan song, and now it’s also the name of a band. One from Liverpool, featuring Saul Godman, Ross Higginson and husband and wife Mike and Evelyn Halls. They have released seven singles so far, and I like them all! Especially, because of how easily they combine happy melodies with lyrics that are taken from (student) life. They write about student debts, the pressure to perform and personal loss, for instance.

Felt is the title track of Clean Cut Kid’s debut album, which drops 5 May (finally). I specifically love the shift in pace, a minute before the song is done!
