Michael Clifford - Sidequest [Clear Vinyl] Vinyl Record

As the colorful-haired guitarist and vocalist of the record-breaking Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer, Michael Clifford is ready to reintroduce himself with a monumental solo debut album, “sidequest.” It is an ode to human connection – for his dedicated fans and anyone else who needs to hear it. “sidequest” defies categorization – moving from the playful pop-punk and alternative sounds of his youth to forward-looking peppy synths, glimmery electronic rhythms and asymmetrical arrangements. There are no precise reference points, no unimaginative plays for nostalgia here. Michael has created a sound all his own, where working through self-doubt feels like euphoria and soul-bearing revelations are revealed atop power chords, enticing the listener to dive deeper.
