A few days after her fiancé died, Shannon Shaw received a “visitation” from him. “I think it was him saying goodbye to me,” Shannon says, of Joe Haener,
“I think it was him saying goodbye to me,” Shannon says, of Joe Haener, who lost his life in a car accident on August 16, 2022. “He woke me up to give me a kiss to go to work, which was an everyday thing. Normally he’d be getting up really early to go farm, and he’d come give me a kiss. I’d always ask him to crack the curtains before he left because, otherwise, I could sleep all day.
Arriving on May 10, nearly two years after the car accident that took Joe’s life, the album is directly inspired both by the tragic loss itself as well as its aftermath—the process, the feelings—including the celebration of life.marks the Clams’ third LP with longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach of Easy Eye Sound, a process that’s grown, as Cody describes, “more streamlined and comfortable” over the years.
The Clams universe was the perfect place to create a loving tribute to Joe—and to life itself. This is why there was no option but to move forward and make music after his death. “If I was discouraged, if I was told that I can’t write about this suffering and loss and celebration of his life, if I’m told I can’t do that, I have no interest in music, zero,” Shannon says. She credits both the band and their fans—“we have the best fans”—for their caring and support.
