In an era of post-punk and indie-rock explosion with the likes of Fontaines D.C and Wunderhorse dominating radio stations, it seems only fair that rising Manchester artist Caesar of Cymatics gets his flowers. Kicking off 2025 as he means to go on, ‘Unloving Lie’ is Caesar’s latest single released on January 11th.
Caesar of Cymatics is a solo project straight from the mind of 17 year old Tom Clegg, who first brought his musical vision to life in 2022 and has been making his mark on Manchester’s music scene ever since. Accompanied by his talented band, Caesar hones a distinct blend of cross-genre influences into his music, creating instant buzz surrounding their unique perspective.

A self-described songwriter, Tom Clegg takes pride in his carefully crafted lyrics and sharp, rhythmic instrumentals above all else. ‘Unloving Lie’ is no exception to this, and is a clear example of everything Caesar of Cymatics stands for.
Refusing to waste a second of the under three minutes track time, Caesar hits the ground running from the first note, full of energy and grit. Its invigorating blend of upbeat indie-rock elements and raw post-punk provides crystal clear commentary on the sorry stage of the modern world through yearning, nostalgic eyes, all while keeping the listener inspired with fun, rebellious instrumentals.
‘Unloving Lie’ is a bold continuation of Caesar of Cymatics’ already impenetrable discography, foreshadowing another magnetic year ahead!
