Clare & the Reasons


Sometimes, someone else says it better. In this case Music Snobbery-blog, on Clare & the Reasons: "This is kind of music you play when you take your loved one out on a boat, and she's carrying a parasol and the pastel colors are swirling around." The sevenpiece band is led by Carla Muldaur, who was 'born on the island of Martha's Vineyard, in a vegetable garden amongst the most incredible tomatoes grown by her mother Sheila.' Album The Movie (released in September) is aptly titled. Themes for 1920's movies, borsalino's and broads. Guests include Van Dyke Parks and Sufjan Stevens, who are very much in place. One song on The Movie is in French, Pluton. I also post the quit funny Cook for You, about cooking in your underwear. [Merci John, merci Franss]
