Clara by Stomacher (San Francisco, California)
The second I started listening to Clara, I got an instant image in my head. If what I’m about to explain doesn’t make sense to you, I apologize for unleashing my highly active imagination. So this is what I saw: a carnival. It’s late at night, all the lights are on but there is no sound except for Stomacher’s music playing over a somewhat muffled PA. You wander around, riding all the rides to this eerie, dark pop sound and you convince yourself that this is a completely normal situation. Each song set the scene for a different ride, a different attraction. Clara is not only haunting but lusty, ‘A Little Mercy’ is a perfect example of this. Stomacher have written a very, very cool album, one meant for dreamy and passion filled nights. @LeahLovecat
