Clamb: “Glittering Watermelon Oracle”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

The Boys are back in Clambtown! And Clambtown is Midway Cafe in July of 2021. A live set, captured for posterity. A shuffling prog caterwauler from Clamb. Jamaica Plain’s favorite watering hole inspires a rainbow of fruit sensations. Not just the watermelon of our highlighted track and title track of the band’s latest release Glittering Watermelon Oracle. Listen closely, spy sharply, take a big whiff for more fructose highs than a Skittle bag on Labor Day. Drums, bass, synthesizer: the rule of threee.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
