In a recent interview with Sleaze Roxx, Clark spoke about Babylon Shakes‘ songwriting for Vintage Soul Rocknroll compared to the debut full-length album Exile To the Velveteen Lounge (2019). Clark indicated: “This one’s more — the songs are more introspective. Pretty much all these songs were written during the pandemic, the lockdown, so I had a lot of time on my hands just being here [laughs] and playing a lot of guitar. And a lot of them are more personal, how we deal with being alone or being on social media and how people go after each other like our friends. We had a really turbulent election in 2020. Globally, I think that it was pretty evident but you know, we just saw a lot of family and friends turn on each other. It had a huge effect on the songwriting style. We kind of went — the first album was total sleaze. I was sort of drawn by the ’80s past from what I used to know when I was in bands then but this album, this is what is happening in my life today, what I see going on in the world.”
