NEWS: Cliffords share epic new single ‘My Favourite Monster’ ahead of new EP & Tour

Cliffords have shared ‘My Favourite Monster‘, their epic new single from their forthcoming EP, Salt of the Lee.  Watch the video below.

Salt of the Lee will be released on 30^th May 2025 on Soil To The Sun, and features the recently released tracks, Dungarvan Bay and Bittersweet.

My Favourite Monster beats at the heart of the EP, a swelling epic ripe with fantastic vocals and vivid lyrics, it showcases precisely what makes Cliffords such an exciting new band, who are picking up fans and admirers everywhere they play. Queues snaked up the road and round the corner for both of their recent jam-packed Great Escape shows, and the demand and interest should only strengthen when My Favourite Monster and the EP reach new ears.

The young Cork band self-financed and self-released their debut tracks last year, but Salt of the Lee marks their first steps working alongside a producer, Richie Kennedy, at Battery Studios in London. Since the release of Bittersweet earlier this year, the band have been tracing their story out on the road, selling out shows across the UK, Ireland, Europe and across to Australia.

Vocalist Iona Lynch on the new single: “My Favourite Monster I describe as a love song to someone you don’t like but feel drawn to. I wrote it about someone I know in Cork that I would always stop and talk to even though I know they don’t like me and I don’t like them. I was reading Frankenstein at the same time and thought it would be fun to make parallels between me and this guy, and Frankenstein and his monster.

“Lots of the reasons I didn’t like this guy were also traits I saw in myself, so I wanted this to be a love letter to someone who I don’t get on with and never will get on with, but I think in some way we understand each other.”

The band completed their first headline tour of the UK and will be appearing at a raft of festivals across the UK and Europe throughout the rest of the Spring and into the Summer, including slots at Glastonbury, TRNSMT, and Latitude. A full list of Cliffords’ festival performances is found below.
