Los Angeles, CA – Dreamy electronic pop duo Clay and Kelsy release “Memories of Me,” the 4th track of their upcoming debut EP, I Am. This track highlights the regretful and chaotic process of change in hopes that this dark transition doesn’t crumble identities. “Memories of Me” is now available to stream and download on all streaming platforms.
This somber track, featuring melancholy, weighty synths, moody drums, and pleading lyrics, solidifies the sense of guilt that Clay and Kelsy portray. Through times of self-identity and destruction, you start to feel like everything is falling apart. “This song is an endless loop, a funeral march of one’s self,” Clay and Kelsy explain. “In the ruins of a shattered relationship, one person faces their own destruction. The moments that become memories are sacred spaces in our hearts, fragile and unprotected, ready to burst like a dam. Will you remember me?” The song’s production is meticulous, with each instrument carefully placed to enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics. The interplay between organic and synthetic sounds creates a dynamic soundscape, reflecting the inner turmoil and conflict expressed. Produced by both Clay and Kelsy, “Memories of Me” was mastered by GRAMMY-award winner John Greenham (Billie Eilish), adding layers of depth and complexity to the track.
Although Clay and Kelsy just celebrated 13 years together as life partners, their band blossomed in 2021, having recently been named as one of “Shazam’s Top Movers.” Both having their own love for music stem from a young age, they eventually found their true voice in the music world as a pair. Producing from the comfort of their own home, Clay and Kelsy pull inspiration from life experiences they share and continuously craft electropop art and their own sonic world. Clay and Kelsy’s sultry, symphonic rendition of Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Three Little Birds” topped the Apple Music soundtrack charts, amassing over 478,000 organic streams on Spotify. This track was recently featured in Apple TV’s award-winning series, The Morning Show. As music artists, producers, and instrument designers founding CKI, a queer woman-owned software instrument company, partnered with industry-leader Native Instruments, their innovative take on the industry as female forward powerhouses is unstoppable. Their storytelling extends beyond lyrics, resonating through every sonic decision and production choice, enhancing the emotional impact for their audience.
Clay and Kelsy’s upcoming EP I Am promises to be a profound exploration of identity and the journey to reinvention. “Memories of Me” serves as a powerful testament to the duo’s ability to convey the desperation that comes after self-destruction.
