Postcards From Eastland By Nelson Unclaimed 03-05-08 ‘Postcards From Eastland’ by ‘Nelson Unclaimed’ is the debut extended Ep from Gisborne musician Clayton Nelson. The songs were recorded in 2005 after Clayton returned to his home town of Gisborne seeking a familiar reference point for his music. Clayton will be best remembered as the front man for NZ underground band ‘The Intelligent Foolz’ which disbanded in 2002 after the loss of bassist Marjorie Allen to cancer. The return home reignited the passion for music so Clayton sought out the help of long time friend and Bassist Sonny Broughton who embraced the idea of a musical collaboration. The end result was six fresh tracks brilliant in their conception and simple in style and execution. The smooth bass style of Sonny provides a solid melodic rhythm upon which Clayton truly comes into his own as a solo guitarist. The lyrical composition of the songs being sublime works of poetry only goes to make Postcards From Eastland an outstanding debut from Nelson Unclaimed: CLICK HERE TO BUY POSTCRDS FROM EASTLAND....
