Clare and The Reasons

Clare and the Reasons, Brooklyn based orchestral pop darlings, are about to burst onto the scene once again with their much anticipated sophomore release Arrow, out in North America on Frog Stand Records and in Europe on Fargo Records Oct 20th, 2009.

In the nearly 2 years since their debut release The Movie, they have toured tirelessly in Europe, Japan and the US of A. They shared the stage during this time with St. Vincent. (whom Clare will be singing with on David Letterman June 24th) My Brightest Diamond, Duke Special, Chris Garneau, Joseph Arthur and others. They also appeared on the UK’s most viewed arts show, The BBC’s Culture Show as well as 2 National French TV shows and a Paste online performance.

Without much of a break at all they recorded Arrow in their Brooklyn neighborhood in the late winter and spring days. Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond joins Clare on a track and a small army of horns and strings were recorded at Legacy Studios in Manhattan, again arranged by the great Olivier Manchon. There are a few songs about bees, one about murder, Kyoto, the art of doing nothing at all, being lost in Paris and many other singalong subject.

You can hear Clare’s voice throughout season 1 of the Fox show “Arrested Development”. She has also had multiple songs in films, documentaries and TV. More of the world will get to hear this utterly original group as they set out on extensive tours this fall.
