"Experience your favorite artists in a new setting and new artists in your favorite setting."  

On “Christian Band,” which lands early in The Clown Watches the Clock, the exceptional new album from Micah Schnabel, the Columbus musician sings from the point of view of a milquetoast religious rock band content to dull both itself and its messaging, because, as Schnabel puts it, “People will pay you money to not make them uncomfortable.”

Both as a solo artist and alongside Shane Sweeney in the long-running Two Cow Garage, Schnabel has never shied from plowing headline into discomfort, his latest release surveying the societal damage wrought by private equity firms, the ever-widening wealth gap and the challenge of finding space to create art when your bottom line is constantly threatened with red ink.

“How’m I supposed to write love songs under these conditions?” he asks on “Real Estate,” one of a handful of vividly realized character sketches that populate the record, and one which has its roots in Schnabel’s experiences filling out job applications in those early pandemic months when Covid obliterated his ability to eke out a living as a touring musician.

“And I hadn’t done that in 20 years. And some of the questions I’m being asked, it was like, I’m over my head. I don’t have the education level or experience to even apply for this fucking job,” Schnabel said. “And, no, I’m not a team player.”
