Indie rock duo Clemency is releasing their new six song EP, You’ve Got
the Fire; out 2-10-15, with a corresponding six videos that tell a love
story inspired by equal parts 80’s pop culture and redefining millennial
rock sensibilities.
Clemency are two blue-blooded brothers from
the red state of Oklahoma:Jason and Paul Watkins. They began playing
music together in high school in Oklahoma City. Then they moved to
Nashville, where they currently reside, to focus on their music careers.
According to them, You’ve Got the Fire draws visual
inspiration, as well as character and plot archetypes, from films like
Spielberg’s E.T. The Extraterrestrial, The Goonies, The Karate Kid,
Beasts of the Southern Wild and Drive.
At first listen, Clemency
gives off an energy of romantic love, but the type of love the Watkins'
talk about goes broader than that. Clemency explores LOVE and MUSIC as
universal concepts.
At first listen, Clemency sounds like a rock
band too, but the type of rock the Watkins' are making instead goes much
more nuanced than the universal concept of rock n' roll itself. Their
sound is geared for the next generations of listeners. It's a sound that
blends post-Y2k production sensibilities with a secret sauce that
definitely contains a little Americana, a little radio-ready rock n'
roll and some electro-art rock influences too.
Spiritually,
questions about love kept showing up in the recording process, so they
decided to create one love story through six videos that coincide with
each song on the record. You’ve Got the Fire and Clemency tell a story
of mercy, compassion and the deepest level of connection to the concept
of unconditional love.
You’ve Got The Fire releases worldwide beginning February 10, 2015.
