[MUSIC INTERVIEW] DAY CLINIC – Day Clinic Interview

Day Clinic is the screeching and kicking child of four sound-nomads who have left their homes in Israel, Spain, Germany, and the UK and relocated to the Berlin in order to start forging in 2018 their mixture of cold, 80´s inspired Post-Punk, Alternative Rock and Heavy-Psych as relentless and heterogenous as the city where it´s created.

Originally started under the name Janis the band changed their name to Day Clinic in order to better reflect their sound. Urban alienation, yearning and fury fill every note created by Boris (ex- Totenwald), Rafa (Barana, Ondo), Can and Chris (Caustic Minds). In 2019 (as Janis) the band released a debut EP “Closer Than My Skin” and went on extensive touring in Europe. In October 2021 and in May 2022 two singles – “Where Will You Go” and “Not For You” were released.

On January 6th 2023 Day Clinic will release the debut album on which they venture into more experimental sonic territories, incorporating more synthesized sounds, reminiscent of 70´s Progressive Rock as well as real saxophone, flute and sitar alongside their signature sound based on a fuzzed-out stonery bass, noisy guitar riffs and melancholic yet angry voice. In their songs Day Clinic explore the topics of social alienation brought about by the advanced technology, the fragility of existence in a world consumed by militaristic hatred and the struggle to find mental stability.

This week they sat down with Dave Griffiths to chat about the album. Take a listen to the interview right here:
