    The Moon Is In The Wrong Place, a mark of their most ambitious, introspective record to date and a remarkable continuance of momentum from their 2021 LP, The Year of the Spider.

    Shaw ultimately takes comfort in the idea that Joe is both an inspiration and a guiding presence for this new music resulting in the band's most creative-sounding and personal release to date.

    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.
