Shannon and the Clams is an indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, Shannon and the Clams has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups. They are also said to love “music from ’50s oldies to ’80s punk”.
The Moon Is in the Wrong Place, Released May 10, 2024
The band and their guests play with passion and skill, the songs are evocative and thoughtful, and Auerbach’s confidence in Shaw’s voice is well founded — she sounds soulful and strong even as she struggles with heartache and loss. The Moon Is in the Wrong Place doesn’t feel like an out-of-the-box banger like the Clams’ best LPs, but it aims for something different than their previous work, and on its own terms it’s a deeply affecting success.
