Clare and the Reasons



Clare and the Reasons incorporate a lot of different sounds and instruments to give each song a different musical vibe, but Clare's voice brings it back together into one grounded album. She can range from jazz-y to sultry to soft candlelight high notes, but it is consistently a unique blend of vocal notes that strings it all together.

We checked out a stream of their music and thought it was an experience to share. 'Pluto' is comical but serious, like swan lake. 'All the Wine' is almost a little nonsensical and lazy, like if you were drunk on something sweet. 'Ooh You Hurt Me So' has heavy bass mixed with cheery holiday-like music; it has some mad jinglebell action, but with heartbreak in the bells. 'Under the Water' makes you feel like you're literally understream, with a beginning filled with nature sounds and vocals that sound like you're sifting through honey. There's a perfect setting set with each song, like it's an entire play being acted out in front of you. You can sit back and be transported into musical versions of space, drunkenness, and synchronized swimming inside one album.
