Imagine walking down an alley alone on a rainy night. This would be the song playing on the speakers in the place where many bad decisions will take place. “Right Place Wrong Time” is the debut single from London-based musician Filip Clements. The single was produced by Grammy-winners Catherine Marks (boygenius, Ed O’Brien) and Martin Terefe (Yungblud, Robbie Williams), and Tord Knudsen of The Wombats. Clements makes music for the big stage, anthemic indie rock with pop sensibilities. Riding on a glorious, 80s-esque bass line, the colossal “Right Place Wrong Time” is about the urge to chase something that might have worked if the timing had been different. “When you choose feelings over sense, allowing yourself to believe this could work, even when you know it probably won’t. A song about chaos, chemistry, and all the wrong moments.”
Clements came from a musical family; however, instead of pursuing a career in music as soon as possible, he enlisted in the army as a teenager. While stationed in the Arctic Circle, Clements found himself playing and writing late into the night on a broken-down piano in a small chapel, an experience that ignited his journey to make music his defining life choice. Since leaving the army, his talent has caught the attention of Joachim Berg and Martin Sköld of the influential Swedish rock band Kent. This led to a short period of writing and recording in Stockholm before Clements moved to the UK in 2022 to focus fully on his career as a solo artist. His upbringing shines through the single in the way he glides through the notes. It sound professionaly mixed and high quality.
Filip Clements is one of the first artists signed to Eastcote Recordings, a new record label founded by Terefe with industry veterans Bruce Lampcov (Kobalt, Fintage, Downtown) and Ahmetcan Tasdemir (Gulbaba Records). The label is born from the ethos and operates out of Eastcote Studios in West London. Established in 1980 by Chaz Jankel from Ian Dury & The Blockheads with musician and engineer Philip Bagenal, Eastcote has welcomed and inspired generations of musicians, including The Pogues, Arctic Monkeys, Mumford & Sons, Wolf Alice, and Adele. His music is indie rock with pop sensibilities, written for the big stage. His debut album Soft Apocalypse is scheduled for release in the autumn of 2026. “Right Place Wrong Time” is out now on all streaming platforms. Listen wherever you get your music!
