CLARE AND THE REASONS (09/09/08)

Another fantastic set of sumptuous strings, quirky instrumentation and delicate beauty from one of New York’s most under-rated acts. No matter how many times I hear it, I fall head over heels in love every single they play Pluto- an eccentric concept married to the most gorgeously fragile string-and-musical-saw melody. Plus, the delectable Marla Hansen (part of Jens Lekman’s entourage back in May) joined them on violin duties, which automatically improves any show by 500,000,000%
