Cautious Clay debuts new track ‘Erase’

September 16 2019

Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Cautious Clay debuts ‘Erase‘, a brand new track featured on EA’s “FIFA 20” in-game soundtrack, today. Listen HERE, watch HERE.

Cautious Clay on the track notes, “I made this song when I was in LA wanting to try something different that spoke to my feelings about my love/hate relationship with being online. It was sort of a mash up of two separate ideas for songs that didn’t really work out on their own, but felt perfect in the context of this production, and as a standalone single that isn’t attached to a project.

Earlier this summer Cautious released ‘Swim Home‘, co-written and -produced with John Mayer and featured on the ‘13 Reasons Why‘ season three soundtrack, listen here and watch the visualizer here. ‘Swim Home’ was the first new music from the 26-year-old artist, born Josh Karpeh, since the release of his acclaimed EP Table Of Context earlier this year. The EP features singles ‘REASONS‘ with Tobias Jesso Jr. and Hudson Mohawke and ‘SIDEWINDER‘, as well as ‘SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS‘ with UMI, and two more tracks.

Following sets at Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, Boston Calling and more this summer, Cautious will tour North America and Europe this fall, with headline shows in Paris, London, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, New York, Philadelphia and beyond.

Cautious Clay is 26-year-old Josh Karpeh. Born and raised in Cleveland, OH, Karpeh first found music through his training in classical flute, which quickly opened the doors of blues and jazz. In college, he added many other instruments as well as songwriting and production to his repertoire, and soon after began releasing music of his own. Now based in Brooklyn, he has toured the world over and collaborated and shared stages with the likes of John Mayer, Omar Apollo, Tayla Parx, AlunaGeorge, Petit Biscuit, Lil Silva and more, and his music has appeared on “Insecure.” Watch Cautious perform a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR here.
