THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

Alan Clayson has never fitted neatly anywhere — and has never wished to.

Once spoken of alongside Costello, Richman, Otway, and Wreckless Eric, Clayson works in a lane where songs collide with monologue, humour curdles into unease, and momentum matters more than polish. In the context of mainstream pop, There's Still Time lands like a Viking longship docking in a hovercraft terminal. Argumentative, funny, occasionally abrasive, and unconcerned with expectations — somewhere, as one Rock 'N' Reel commentator put it, "there is a parallel universe where Clayson and the Argonauts are bigger than the Beatles." This one will have to do for now.

There is still time.
