LAUNDRY DAY are wrapping up their band practice on a hot summer’s afternoon in Midtown Manhattan, just a few days before they hit the road on their eleven-date All My Friends Tour. The five-piece group, made up of Etai Abramovich, Jude Ciulla, Sawyer Nunes, Henry Pearl, and Henry Weingartner, happily carry their band gear with them as we meander through the Garment District on our way to Bryant Park, stopping along the way on the streets and outside pizza shops for photos.

Deb Never is bemused with her beverage in hand. It’s a purple drink, which is in fact, not Purple Drank (or Lean as it’s often called), but a blueberry infused green tea which deepens in colour throughout our photoshoot.

Walking the streets of Highland Park is ongoing entertainment as Deb shares fun facts about herself - she’s allergic to most kinds of fruit (anything with a pit, but don’t worry she can still eat strawberries), and lends a hand in art-directing her photos; asking to pose in a heap of tall-growing wheat.

Interview: Claud on 'Wish You Were Gay' and other upcoming releases.

“Sorry, I was distracted by that dog, it was so cute!” Claud apologises to me mid-sentence as we sit in Washington Square Park in New York, discussing how they hope their songwriting helps people to feel a little less lonely after listening to it.

Formerly releasing music under Toast, Claud re-emerged last year with a string of singles, continuing in 2019 with the beloved anthem ‘Wish You Were Gay’, along with ‘If I Were You’ and ‘Easy’.
