I’m glad I didn’t give into the compulsion to rip this CD out and jam it down the garbage disposal unit as soon as I heard the opening few bars of banjo action. Thankfully, it provides but a base for haunting and captivating exercise in folk understatement. St Clarity showcases an eased and unique vocal performance, emphasised by infrequent bass pulses. It’s an icy first taste of the upcoming debut album States, due late August. And as I disclaimer, I listened to the track on YouTube, not CD, and I don’t have a garbage disposal unit. I lied. Deal with it.
