Premiere: Andy Shauf – ‘Wendell Walker’

Powerful, emotive Canadian songwriter...

Andy Shauf seems to emerge from the Canadian wilderness.

The songwriter's work – at times direct, at others poetic, almost mystical – seems to dwell in wide open spaces, in the constraints and restrictions of small town life.

New album 'The Bearer Of Bad News' will be released on May 4th, a turbulent collection which is imbued with a rare sense of spirit.

Ahead of this, Clash is able to premiere a clip featuring a live performance of 'Wendell Walker'.

Extremely intimate, the black and white video seems to get to the root of Andy Shauf's songwriting: literate, emotive and hugely engrossing.

Check it out now.
