Cautious Clay – Thin Ice On The Cake EP
Cleveland-born singer, songwriter, and producer Cautious Clay (Joshua Karpeh) has released his second EP of 2022. Follow up to Lip Service, Thin Ice On The Cake includes six songs, three of which have been previously released (‘Puffer,’ ‘Camp Anonymous,’ and ‘Burning Up Slow.’) “I’ve always loved working with juxtapositions in my music. Conceptually Thin Ice on the Cake relates to being on the edge of something really bad as we grow nearer to death, but birthdays are also about celebrating the positives and joys of life. The cake is a great symbol of that. ‘Burning Up Slow’ is all about enjoying the ride,” shares Clay.
Standout Songs: Puffer, Burning Up Slow
