Claud is a Chicago born, New York city based musician. After releasing bedroom pop under the moniker Toast, Claud released their debut LP on Phoebe Bridgers’ label Saddest Factory Records as the label’s inaugural record. Within the last few years, they’ve developed a loyal fanbase for their music, which strikes a balance between infectiously catchy and strikingly vulnerable, and have supported indie rock moguls like Le Tigre, Paramore, and Boygenius. After meeting Paul Rudd at Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, the actor agreed to cameo in Claud’s latest music video, A Good Thing. Teetering between joyfully sweet and quietly insecure, it sets the tone for their sophomore record, Supermodels, which is out now. Lucky for us, Claud is here to tell us what they’re into.

Try something new. It’ll grow back, and hats exist if you hate it.

It’s boys wearing bikinis. My new word for the summer. I’m not sure if I made this word up but if I did, let it be known perfectly imperfect. After I got top surgery I felt a bit awkward going to beaches that weren’t mostly queer, so I got a bikini top and it’s kind of awesome.

I love education and taking classes, but I didn’t graduate college. One day I’ll probably go back to school when I know what I want to study, but the expectation to graduate from college in the 4ish years after high school didn’t make sense for me. If it doesn’t feel right for you, do something else that does.

Did you know most animal shelters let you come in and volunteer to walk their dogs? Most of the time, the dogs just sit in their cages and don’t get walked, so I reccomend doing that for a pup every once in a while.

My bed sheets have tiny dinosaurs and skateboards on them and I got them from Target. It’s fun, chill out.

I love a good cry to a sad song.
