Bassist/multi-instrumentalist Alexander Claffy has endeavored to create a seemingly ambitious debut self-titled album. It’s memoiric in scope, glisteningly optimistic. It can get almost overwhelmingly earnest. This is no more clear than in his latest single, “Chapter 4: Don’t Let It Bring You Down”. Check out the song from the upcoming album, Claff, after the jump.
