CLIFTON 2.5 – has unveiled a radiant new single âUnder Attackâ.
The track is taken from what will be her debut EP release, âOutskirts of Nowhereâ, due 14 April via Leafy Outlook.
A glistening alt-pop track that blends tender vocal harmonies with lush electronic textures, âUnder Attackâ arrives as Clifton 2.5âs debut original single, following the release of reworked covers of Bombay Bicycle Clubâs âAlways Like Thisâ and Go Westâs âKing of Wishful Thinkingâ earlier this year.Â
Stemming from a memory Clifton 2.5 had of being at school and experiencing relationships for the first time, the artist explains:
âThis song is about the idea of preserving part of yourself in a relationship, not letting everything go at once but keeping your mind separate from the demands of a relationship until you find someone who you can really trust.”

DEBUT EP: âOUTSKIRTS OF NOWHEREâ OUT 14 APRIL VIA LEAFY OUTLOOK
âUnder Attackâ also arrives alongside the announcement of Clifton 2.5âs debut EP âOutskirts of Nowhereâ. Set to land on 14 April via Leafy Outlook, the four-track release was produced by Ross Dorkin (Beatenberg) and features three previously unheard tracks.
Spanning a wide range of both genre and influence, the EP includes âCrossed Linesâ, a song about âhow it feels to let love goâ that was recorded using a half-broken electric organ found in the studio; âAre you singing to me?â, a retro-tinted cut about âstanding in the audience watching someone sing and believ[ing] that their message is meant for you aloneâ; and the EPâs assured title-track âOutskirts of Nowhereâ, a piece inspired by the acclaimed novel âWhere the Crawdads Singâ and the first song Clifton 2.5 ever recorded.
