The best kept secret in music
Press
You may have never heard of them, but the Clips are indie up-and-comers. The group is an electronic foursome composed of drummer, and sometimes violinist, Jeremy Gruman, guitarist Mike Jones, digital sound artist and keyboardist Cohen Brown and a keyboardist-vocalist Edo Van Breemen.
The group's been working the scene for awhile, but have just started to find its stride. Van Breemen cites "dance and electronic stuff like UNKLE and Evil Nine," as well as the Stone Roses, Beta Band and Radiohead as major influences - though he was reluctant to admit the mainstreamers.
"Unfortunately, we dont' have any dramatic addictions or major band in-fighting," Van Breemen said. Oh, they'll be plenty of time for that. For now, it's just about the music. - Dose magazine (June 9, 2005)
Discography
Thus far we've only recorded this basic demo you have access to here. It provides a rough sketch of what we aim to produce at a professional level in the coming months. We are starting the recording of a full length album on July 7 with plans to finish by the end of August 2005. .

Bio
Jeremy and Edo started jamming about 4 years ago as a strictly synth & percussion duo. Over the next couple years we were able to turn some of the better ideas into full arrangements, at which point Mike and Cohen were conveniently ready to make contributions to existing songs, and help formulate newer ones. We are synth and fx friendly in the same vein of music as bands such as Sigur Ros, Beta Band, and Radiohead, but strive to create thrash-your-head-dancefloor-ready songs in the vein of The Rapture, Arcade Fire, and Bloc Party. The songwriting is backed by classical composition expertise, but also feeds off of catchy guitar loops and sharp keyboard lines.
