Kodaclips were founded in the second half of 2021 by four friends living in and around Cesena, nearby Italy’s north Adriatic Coast.
Each member came from a different artistic background, ranging from psychedelia to stoner and progressive, and in Kodaclips these sounds melt, together with 90’s vibes.
Heavily influenced by the second wave of shoegaze, especially by the italogaze scene, Kodaclips enjoy to experiment with melodic and arrangement ideas.
They made their stage debut towards the end of 2021 and, after a few local shows, they were chosen as opening act for of A Place to Bury Strangers Italy tour.

Kodaclips released their debut album Glances in September 2022 (Overdub Recordings).

The album title was a tribute to one of their main influences, quoting the lyrics from Don, Aman, the 3rd track from the masterpiece Spiderland by Slint.

Early 2023, the single Not My Sound put them into focus of the international shoegaze scene, with a video premiere on Backseat Mafia and heavy rotation on DKFM and Eardrum Buzz.

Gone Is the Day, released on February 23^rd, 2024, is the first single anticipating Kodaclips’ second album of the same title, due out on September 06^th on Sister 9 Records from Manchester, UK.
The shifts between lighter and heavier sounds reflect the inner voyage behind the composition, exploring and confronting the scars left on the Self from dysfunctional family relationships.
The sound is shoegaze with post punk and psychedelic vibes: deep reverberations and abrasive distortions, while the vocals hang on in hypnotic spirals.
Gone Is the Day was produced by Kodaclips themselves, with mixing and mastering by James Aparicio.

Not My Sound video premiere
‘Not My Sound’ is a sun-blocking wave of sound that fills the senses. Insistent drums drive a barrage of fuzzy, howling guitars over the top of distant, arctic vocals that are augmented by a backing chorus haunting and enigmatic. The sound is visceral, thundering, all encompassing, leaving you hollowed out in catatonic bliss at the end.
