In the eighties and nineties the Amsterdam Claw Boys Claw ruled the Dutch club circuit. Initially in response to the American garage rock revival, but soon developed into its own sound, culminating in the 1992 album Sugar. Although the group was thought dead after the moderately successful Will-O-The-Wisp (1997), singer Peter te Bos remained dead. and guitarist John Cameron always get together to
… work on new song material. Pajama Day was eventually filtered out and recorded with original member Marc Lamb back behind the drums. On Pajama Day, Claw Boys Claw returns with brooding song material in which the garage sound (Cameron's simple but effective guitar playing) of yesteryear mixes with atmospheric Americana and European folk music. Melancholy predominates, especially in Te Bos' characteristic bass voice, which sings pleasantly warm and subdued. Pajama Day thus effortlessly ranks among the best the group has ever released.
