Wake the Deaf

Claire Cronin

Claire Cronin is an artist from Los Angeles who’s work includes “songs, performances, visual work and poetry”. Naturally it’s the songs I’m interested in, particularly her latest release, a two-song EP entitled Football. Both songs are a blend of dark folk music (reminiscent of Emily Lacy’s fantastic Country Singer) and more straightforward indie rock (à la Sharon Van Etten). Listen to my favourite track in the player below and then purchase the EP for a measly $2 (approx £1.25 for us Brits) or more via Bandcamp. The bandcamp page also features a collection of previous releases which I would encourage you to explore if you like what you hear.
