Clipping Shares New Song “Keep Pushing”
Today, November 12th, Clipping shares “Keep Pushing,” a driving new jam with electro-funk and big-beat elements, written and produced by the group, featuring strings from John W. Snyder, mixed by Steve Kaplan, and mastered by Levi Seitz at Blackbelt Mastering.
“Keep Pushing” is another offering from Clipping’s forthcoming new album, a long-in-the-works Hip-Hop and Cyberpunk project, due worldwide from Sub Pop in 2025. It follows the release of the group’s acclaimed horrorcore series Visions of Bodies Being Burned (2020) and There Existed an Addiction to Blood (2019), also available from Sub Pop.
Last month, Clipping released the official video for the single “Run It.” Consequence of Sound says of the track, “It seems as if Clipping have rediscovered their love for rave-ready bangers — at least Clipping’s fucked up version of a rave-ready banger. ‘Run It’ is a relentless, skittering, up-tempo rager complete with noisy embellishments and Daveed Diggs’ technical flows. In other words, it goes nuts.”
Stereogum said, “It’s a fast, physical rap attack…On ‘Run It,’ Daveed Diggs goes into athletic overdrive, rapping over a pulsing, clanking, extremely fast beat from his bandmates Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson. The track’s smears of digital noise sometimes cohere into Detroit techno riffs. This is a good one — a track that keeps all the prickly intensity of clipping.’s music without getting so extreme that you couldn’t play it on your headphones while you’re on the treadmill. In the quick-cut Lawrence Klein-directed video, secret agents tail clipping. through DC, Berlin, Prague, New Delhi, Bangkok, and Seoul, on some Jason Bourne/Carmen Sandiego shit.”
Clipping will appear at Knoxville’s Big Ears Festival on Saturday, March 29th, 2025. Tickets for the fest are on sale now—additional tour dates to be announced soon.
