Hiatus Kaiyote drummer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Clever Austin (a.k.a Perrin Moss) has released his debut album with London’s Touching Bass and Melbourne’s Wondercore Island, titled Pareidolia. 

We’re told that the LP is a genre-bending sonic and emotive pilgrimage with virtuosic, percussive groove at its core. It was conceived via countless nights in Austin’s home studio and dreamily roams across 16 tracks which slowly unravel with the cinematic feel of a movie, all mixed and self-produced over a period of two years. It features Jon Bap, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Laneous, and CAZEAUX OSLO, plus a staggering amount of instrumentation from Alejandro Abapo (saxophone), Simon Mavin (upright piano), Jimmy Bowman (trombone), Taylor Crawford (frello), Tom Mansfield (electric guitar), and Paul Bender (acoustic guitar). 

The painting used for the cover artwork was contributed by Clever Austin’s mother, Judi Moss.
