Clown Core is a duo known for their unique blend of music that combines elements of jazz, electronica, and experimental music with an absurdist and theatrical presentation. The band is shrouded in a bit of mystery, as the members' identities are not publicly known—they perform wearing clown costumes and masks, contributing to their eccentric and enigmatic image. Their music is often intense and dissonant, reflecting various influences and genres, and is usually accompanied by videos that feature the duo performing in unusual locations, such as inside a porta-potty or a van. The visual aspect of their performance is as significant as their music, with the clown aesthetic being a core part of their identity, playing into the "clowncore" concept. The band's rise to recognition can be attributed to their skillful musicianship and their internet-savvy approach to sharing their work, which has garnered them a following on platforms like YouTube. They manage to merge virtuosic performance with comedic and sometimes shocking theatrical elements, creating a niche that is simultaneously thought-provoking and entertaining. Clown Core's approach to music and performance art challenges traditional genres and performance spaces, which is reflective of the experimental and boundary-pushing nature of their work.

EXCLUSIVE: "Now and Then" (also known as "I Don't Want to Lose You" or "Miss You") is a song that features a posthumous contribution from John Lennon. The origin of the song traces back to a demo recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s, one of many that he made during this period. After Lennon's death in 1980, Yoko Ono entrusted several of Lennon's home demos to Paul McCartney with the prospect of having The Beatles' remaining members work on them. Two of these— "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love"—were completed and released as part of The Beatles' Anthology project in the mid-1990s, featuring contributions from McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. "Now and Then" was the third Lennon demo considered for the project. McCartney, Harrison, and Starr attempted to record additional instrumentation and provide backing vocals to Lennon's original demo. However, the project was ultimately abandoned and the song was never officially completed or released by The Beatles in any official capacity. The reasons for "Now and Then" not being completed and released by the surviving Beatles include technical issues with the demo's sound quality, as well as reported dissatisfaction from George Harrison with the track. Nonetheless, the song occupies a special place in The Beatles' lore as a "what could have been" piece, a haunting echo from their past with the poignant significance of Lennon's involvement from beyond the grave.
