After dropping a number of new releases in 2022, including “Puffer,” “Camp Anonymous” and “Burning Up Slow,” Cautious Clay today releases his new EP Thin Ice on the Cake, which features three brand new tracks “Lip Service,” “Type II Nostalgia” and “Sarah Tonin.” The new EP from the 28-year-old Brooklyn-based artist, producer/songwriter toys with the meta surrealism of life and death found in birthdays, and the power of accepting the things we cannot control in life.

“I’ve always loved working with juxtapositions in my music”, said Cautious. “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.”

This past year, Cautious Clay has supported Lorde, BANKS and Jack White across the globe, alongside a run of festival dates and his own US and UK shows. Cautious recently also teamed up with Kiana Ledé for single “Who Do You Think You Are”; the official title music for Netflix’s new hit show The School for Good and Evil.

Josh Karpeh aka Cautious Clay released his debut single “Cold War” in 2018. The track, which was sampled by Taylor Swift in her single “London Boy.” Having released three EPs to date, working alongside the likes of Dan Nigro, Saba, Jim-E Stack, Tobias Jesso Jr and Hudson Mohawke, Clay released his debut LP Deadpan Love in June 2021.
