SAMPLE THE FEEL BLOG | THE MANY LIVES OF REAL CLOTHES
The album is a grim universe with Real Clothes at the center, engaging with the world they way they know how. The album represents many different stages of quarantine: half a million people dying, racial injustice becoming a regular mainstream spectacle, and of course, booty calls from ex lovers. “I don’t want escapism, it’s much harder to write happy stuff.'' They would rather face the world head on. “It’s easier to write sad, sad is objective.”
BUST MAGAZINE | REAL CLOTHES' EXPERIMENTAL ALBUM, "PRECAUTION," IS PERFECT FOR QUARANTINE BLUES AND ESCAPISM
“Black culture has been one of the most influential forces in this country, whether it be from language, music, food, fashion, politics — you name it. But as we have seen throughout centuries and centuries, the erasure of Black and Brown people’s creativity, accomplishments, and contributions go both unnoticed and is ongoing. And if it is celebrated, it is a palatable version that is only perceived through the white gaze. Fox says there is an idea of Blackness as a monolith within the music industry.”
IT SOUNDS ALTERNATIVE | «PRECAUTION» DE REAL CLOTHES: LA CATARSIS DEL DOLOR
“Hay discos que necesitan más de una escucha. Más que por gusto, necesitan ser oídos repetidas veces para lograr entenderlos completamente. Son como “esas películas llenas de complejidad y capas que debemos ir descubriendo a medida que pasa el tiempo y se logran ver nuevas lecturas.”

ALEXA O’KANE: REAL CLOTHES, REAL TALENT | APOTHEOSIS
“Scheherazade (Cinema)” also has great rub in a way that makes it feel very much like a dance track at a cool, off-beat club. The vocals tie the song back to those preceding it, but the funky electronic instrumentals are truly the star of this show. One of my favorites for its completely unique feel, this song definitely stands out in just the way I was looking for. While it still remains cohesive to the album as a whole, “Scheherazade (Cinema)” takes the talent Nico has shown in a direction unlike anything I have heard before.
