There’s something about Clay Brown’s voice that makes you pull your coat tighter, even indoors. In All My Friends (Atrophy), Brown leans into a soft, lingering melancholy, and it pays off. The song skirts the edges of alternative folk rock without demanding attention, settling instead into its own space with quiet confidence.

‘Worn, Restless, True.’

At its core, the track is about clinging to the people who anchor you when everything else unravels. Recorded between Soho Sonic Studios in London and Brown’s home in Perth, the production doesn’t feel disjointed rather, it mirrors the restless energy of a transcontinental life. What Brown delivers is honest songwriting, a voice tinged with weariness, and the distinct sense that he knows exactly who this song is for, whether you’re among them or not. With this track teasing a debut EP on the horizon, Brown sets a compelling tone, one worth paying attention to.
