Claud’s debut album Super Monster is a dreamy anthology of love and longing. Combing the hallmark smooth synth of bedroom pop with indie’s soft acoustics, Claud composes everything from slow, melodic ballads (“Rocks At Your Window”) to songs of upbeat redemption (“That’s Mr. Bitch To You”), creating a well-rounded and well-executed project. As the first artist signed to Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records, 21-year-old Chicago native Claud Mintz has been releasing music since 2018, originally under the pseudonym Toast. Super Monster is their first full length album, displaying a care and refinement that will come to define the artist as a leader in the bedroom pop genre.
