Slightest Clue Explores the Angst-Ridden Rush of an Unrequited Crush on “Why Can’t I Call You”

Vancouver’s Slightest Clue (Malcolm McLaren, Hannah Kruse, Sean Ries, Nick Sciarretta) is like the secret after-school project of four kids who would have passed each other without a glance in the hallway at school, but once they’re plugged in and ready to play their distinct blend of post-punk, alternative rock, and dark pop, all bets are off. 

Dressed up in sultry post-punk stylings reminiscent of Arctic Monkeys' AM, “Why Can’t I Call You” is the final single to be shared from the band’s forthcoming Carousel EP before it’s officially released on February 9th. Inspired by songwriter McLaren’s crush on a person he couldn’t pursue, the song is rife with hooks and vocals that emulate the likes of Grian Chatten (Fontaines D.C.) and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys).
