Mutado Pintado, AKA Clams Baker – returns after a busy year of spreading sonically transmitted diseases to bring you his first audio biography, ‘336 W. 17th St’, a tale of 11 years in and out of New York City’s underbelly.
He’s the vocalist in vinyl-only word-of-mouth electro success story Paranoid London, frontman in Warmduscher alongside Saul and Jack of Fat White Family, and vocalist in Save – his collaboration with Colder’s Marc Nguyen Tan.
‘336 W 17th St’ tells tales of the musician’s time stateside and is a kaleidoscopic collision of musical influences. But from the hip-hop-tinged opener ‘King Of The Worker Bees’, to the punky frenzy of ‘Juanita’s guitar fuzzy, via the sunshiny drone-pop of ‘Keep On Flying’, all of this music is tied together by the inimitable NYC atmosphere that colours each of these stories.
The record features a remix of previous single ‘Blue’, reworked here by Dutch producer Gluid, imbuing the bluesy groove of the original track with a new sense of urgency and energy.
Lauren Laverne has already thrown her support behind ‘The Tick’ and presenter Tom Robinson invited Pintado on his annual songwriting retreat, resulting in the start of Save and a lot of radio play. The next 12 months are set to be packed with highlights for Pintado.
