Cautious Clay (the musical moniker of Joshua Karpeh) shows no signs of slowing down after his debut full length Deadpan Love was graciously received by both fans and critics alike. The classically trained flutist is known for his dreamy indie R&B songs and collaborations with artists like John Legend and Billie Eilish, so some may be surprised to learn about his appreciation for ’80s soft rock. Somehow, Karpeh masterfully blends his classical background with these modern influences to create effortlessly soothing grooves.

Watch Cautious Clay perform his new singles “Puffer” and “Camp Anonymous” plus Deadpan Love‘s “Wildfire” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
