4.0 excellentBedex | January 9th 22

Truly excellent little folk EP with lots of bursts of creativity sprinkled in in the form of swathes of fx coming in sporadically amidst the otherwise largely acoustic sound, little dissonances and compositional freehand that justifies the jazz tag this gets here and there, cool instrumental additions, and also well placed restraint to keep things subtle and elusive. These aspects magnify what would otherwise be a well crafted but not outstanding EP to make it into something I found to be memorable. The sort of falsetto, sometimes heavily vibrato-ing voice will not sit right with some, but with me it did. Whilst the first three song bear the same mysterious, slightly sad, slightly ichiko-esque vibe, 4 shows us Clara can also do upbeat stuff well, and 5 is really intriguing especially in its intro, although I cannot put my finger on what it reminds me of. A precious, obscure little gem. 3.8
