Slightest Clue Explores the Angst-Ridden Rush of an Unrequited Crush on “Why Can’t I Call You”
Vancouver’s Slightest Clue (Malcolm McLaren, Hannah Kruse, Sean Ries, Nick Sciarretta) is like the secret after-school project of four kids who would have passed each other without a glance in the hallway at school, but once they’re plugged in and ready to play their distinct blend of post-punk, alternative rock, and dark pop, all bets are off.
Dressed up in sultry post-punk stylings reminiscent of Arctic Monkeys’ AM, “Why Can’t I Call You” is the final single to be shared from the band’s forthcoming Carousel EP before it’s officially released on February 9th. Inspired by songwriter McLaren’s crush on a person he couldn’t pursue, the song is rife with hooks and vocals that emulate the likes of Grian Chatten (Fontaines D.C.) and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys).
The band also unveiled the official Francis Rogers-directed music video, shot on 8mm film, 16mm film, VHS, and digitally.
