George Clanton interview | Vinyl Rewind

[@PadChennington]

THATS OUR BOY

[@deedsdilla]

YEAH

[@timefragment5387]

Yeah x2

[@nym5qu17]

the fact that such a successful and inspirational artist has no idea what hes doing makes me feel so much better about my own artistic endevours

[@dm6801]

Found Clanton’s music while I was waiting at an airport. Was flying while listening to slide. Truly amazing music

[@arizonateagod8491]

That sounds beautiful, I've also listened to clanton while flying, specifically 200% electronica.

[@MnemonicHeadTrip]

I found his music on a really high tech and comfy bus while I was on vacation at Washington D.C. It was a lot more magical than it sounds. I remember hearing Never Late Again and watching the city go by

[@k0rpi681]

Slide represents 'the soundtrack' when my life changed drastically. It just happened to get released just in right time in August 2018. Every time when I hear this album, it just brings me back to August 2018. One album wakens the memories of near past.

[@cobraking15]

That sounds awesome cant wait to fly again. Definitely gonna listen to this while flying.

[@FloydPinkFan]

such a good vibe for that

[@badtzmarupouch]

I FUCKING LOVE HOW HONEST HE ISSSSSS HE DOESNT CAREEEEE I LOVE THAT OMG

[@analazovic441]

i know right

[@Jsarson1976]

That’s how anartist should be.

[@captnbeebopaloobop]

not a single bad song on both albums. hes the artist i tell my closest friends to listen to.

[@MTHU0080]

ok 1 or 2 notes at a time, 3 chord strumming + vintage warping effects and everything sounds right. love it! I'm glad to know George is in his 30s and he's now just feeling like he's made it. It gives me hope that with all the crazy and random projects I work on will result in something better than myself.

[@swansonjoe7121]

I can imagine a this being one of the coziest places ever

[@primalias]

George Clanton liking Brian Jonestown Massacre just makes him infinitely more cool

[@hospie]

Love to see him get excited when talking about the project with Hexum

[@slowmopoke]

Wow, he looks different than when he was in Parliament or Funkadelic

[@TheBBG31]

😂

[@brozuff8825]

Found his music from Anthony. Thank god he did a review on it. I love this album so much and love his music.

[@matthewensign9683]

"ill put on cocktail jazz to have dinner to" got me spitting out my drink.

[@avedic]

I watched this.....then saw the Dumb video. And yeah.......I think I just found my new favorite artist/person. I'm obsessed.....and I only found out he even _existed_ maybe 3 hours ago. I'm so happy he exists. I love music....

[@Steph722NY]

I'm pretty new here too and feeling the same way.

[@bahamut_the_warrior]

Same for me with Puzzle and Enjoy.

[@marshallemmet1366]

The fact that Georgie is a BJM fan fills me with much joy, my parents used to listen to them in the car all the time, so they are a very nostalgic band for me, the two bands which influenced me to writing music was also Oasis and BJM.

[@avedic]

Something about George's entire presence is like some fascinating combo of Jack White, Grimes, Billy Corgan, and Aurora. It's an odd crew to pair together...but if you know those artists, I think you'll agree...George is kind of a bundle of _that._ I remember seeing this interview back in the covid times and falling in love with his music. And then this month, his new single I Been Young comes out...and it might be my favorite thing he'd done yet. So I'm going back to his older stuff, and I'm piecing together how smart and creative and interesting of a person he is. I hope he actually releases this new album soon; I need it this summer.

[@foxdog9332]

That combo was on point I can't unsee Jack white and billy corgan influence 😂

[@subfifth]

Gen X reporting for duty! lol. Long-time Clanton / Mirror Kisses / Esprit fan! Love this interview!

[@DerekPorter]

Eric: I like complexity (what he means: sweet harmonious layers of music) George: I'm not complex (what he means: a wide array and variety of notes) I think GC is very complex, like Eric says.

[@arizonateagod8491]

Fan club represent!

[@thebreakfastmenu]

George has been my biggest inspiration in a very long time. Ever since I discovered him, I've been a massive fan, instantly. Thank you George. You rule, buddy. Hopefully I can get my hands on that fan club album at some point.

[@simonlloyd2824]

Such a great treat getting to listen to George talk about the process of how his genius is spawned from the simplicity of his approach. Such an inspiration! We love you, George!

[@jakeislate]

WOW, never clicked a video faster. Huge fan of George.

[@presidentwubwub3466]

For real man I was so hyped to see this video on my home page.

[@djed7235]

I hope Slide gets released on CD one day

[@Henryduckfan63]

Buy a record player nerd.

[@versnellingspookie]

Maybe he has them up on his bandcamp some day

[@xxelllie]

[@Clifffields]

Man its so cool to see another musician with similar approaches haha

[@dallasgerry9666]

I bought this album from him at a concert

[@timefragment5387]

I love this man.

[@deepblue8143]

Play That Thing Again is so incredible.

[@s30ztt]

[@YungSteambuns]

[@lurk781]

Lmao I love how he’s staring at himself the whole time quite frightening, Beautiful interview, beautiful aesthetic composition and a delightful comfortable atmosphere.

[@SiqDopeNasty]

He is amazing!

[@djdripfunk]

Love him!

[@INCridley103]

George is my hero

[@avedic]

Just watched this for a second time...almost a year since I first saw it. Rekindled my love of George's music. I gotta get back into it.... He comes across in this interview as such a kind cool genuine person. Love his attitude to everything. Very inspiring. Also....his insight into how he creates music was _very_ interesting, and very much aligns with my approach and my thoughts on how music can break new boundaries moving into the future....

[@Cudder17]

What a sweet surprise!!

[@Augnos]

Amazing interview! I’m still looking forward to our shopping mall festival, by the way

[@kaleidavow4184]

The Clantman stays making moves. I don't think any one person has done as much for internet sub-genres as he has

[@petergriffin355]

Love this guys music! Got 100% electronica on cassette

[@dharmacideband]

Good point about BJM songs and been good on writing songs

[@garrettmick3452]

Yo I fuckin love George Clanton and none of my friends relate I’m glad I found this comment section. Fuckin favorite artist ever. Slide is such a fucking phenomenal album.

[@solovief]

There are aspects of Clanton's music that remind me of Forest For The Trees. I'm not over comparing here. I just note similar vibes. I appreciate both artists' projects for what they are. Still, I can't help finding common sonic threads and feelings.

[@dethrali]

such a great interview

[@bloodbornesurvivor6399]

I love George

[@brianhannah4206]

great interview!

[@shanehagan]

love this dude

[@mutably]

Man, I was just thinking : "I'd like to hear another interview of George Clanton"

[@ElCanalDeJulca]

I hope to go to electronicon one day

[@Josephhoward28]

Feel you George, I can’t even remember how to play my own songs

[@williams6233]

He looks so pretty

[@Luis-kt9wm]

this dude is a genius and his sp404 sets

[@saw-alone-man6150]

I am inspired now to continue produce my music. Since i am not piano player. He is not either .

[@jamesestrada7956]

This is just fucking great thank u

[@IgnacioVogel]

George ia god

[@letsdeuxthis]

Clanton's the Manton

[@makisupadude1241]

GREAT INTERVIEW

[@jaimesantiago1873]

Has anyone done a remix with this interview slowed down and some R E V E R B

[@tapkaBbabkax007]

He said V A P O R W A V E !

[@mattemery4081]

These videos are so good.

[@yungwappenlese]

what a nice interview 🌃

[@megadda7537]

so cool man

[@DenkyManner]

I first heard of Clanton from Vinyl Rewind, 2 years ago I think. Good interview too, Clanton turned they snark off completely.

[@picklesandcheese25]

My boy George Clanton looking like one of the twins from The Shining 👩🏽

[@DennisGruetter]

GenX is here too

[@ToaRanen7]

People use the word "complexity" to describe both musicality and tonality. George Clanton may not be very musically complex but is tonally rich. Musicianship and production ability aren't necessarily intertwined. Because many musicians don't record with separate producers and engineers there isn't as much collaboration. Artists may have to do all aspects by themselves instead of working with others that specialize in the recording arts or music theory.

[@beingawone]

I’m sure other people have thought this before but I wanna see Bill Hader from the Hot Rod era and George Clanton in the same room.

[@theonlywaytofly]

He had me at Brian Jonestown Massacre

[@kingfrozt2305]

He’s a man wearing a beret with confidence. This guys cool.

[@bjornlakenstrazen2186]

George is the Jack White of Electronica. Both in approach and he kinda looks like him lol

[@silversoundlady]

Good

[@NotraceOfRay]

First... srry xD. Love your videos, thx for all the cool stuff that you make

[@BEkov-kd8cf]

Wait the vinyl geek released an album? Whats it called?

[@johndeaux3703]

'MMMBop'

[@djphoray]

Ending with "catch you on the b side" seems like a missed opportunity :)

Review The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

[@djdripfunk]

Is he ever going to let him talk.

[@16BitGamer_]

Really fucking sucks that all the plans for live stuff George had for the foreseeable future got basically thrown out the window by Covid-19. I was hyped for the tour with The Garden and Electronicon 3

[@hoodedman1046]

Me to buddy

[@pretzelboi64]

I don't think they're talking about the same kind of complexity. George's music is acoustically complex but just not in the same way jazz is.

[@DylanHughesPhotoVideo]

Does George have a slight southern accent? Lol. I can’t exactly tell.

[@chefboay]

Virginia

[@proptosis2682]

George is god

[@user.414]

Not complex.. In my opinion he plays a sophisticated but simple music, he use unusual harmonic progressions, with a bit of sad colour

[@djdripfunk]

The guy calls himself Q?!

[@adanactnomew7085]

[@Princep555]

That tweed suit looks uncomfortable AF. That being said, Slide is one of the best records of the late 2010s.

[@DannyMaller]

This interviewer is a really poor communicator.

[@johnsellas4455]

The interview guy is a creepy,,is it just a goof?

[@__DMC__82]

Seems perfectly normal to me your just weird
