Early praise for Claire George:
“[‘Orbits’] seems to send her voice hurtling through space, but for all its dreamy wonder and celestial wordplay, it stays tethered to this world through kind devotion.” - NPR Music
["Orbits" is] a lonely ghost of a pop song that drips and melts with molasses synths and lazy buzzing drum machines. Her sinewy vocals stay mostly to an aching whisper, but occasionally reveal powerful, Lorde-like creases, tripping out the song’s slo-mo atmosphere further with a muted background vocal loop." - Stereogum
“Claire George makes quite the auspicious introduction with the...wistfully bittersweet [‘Orbits’]” - Gorilla vs. Bear
“Cascine continues to have a superb ear for indie pop gems and Claire George might be the most promising signee yet...heavenly...an immersive soundscape held together by haunting vocals, swelling production, and healing words” - Highsnobiety
"The synth pop artist asks a painful question in this dreamy, languid track from her debut EP" - Resident Advisor
“This is one to watch no doubt.” - Paste
Los Angeles-based Claire George released her stunning self-produced and self-written debut EP Bodies of Water last year via Cascine, a singularly captivating and dreamy first effort that showcased Claire’s imaginative melodic sensibility, swirling electronic production, and impressive vocal control. She has been touring non-stop ever since, making her SXSW debut and earning early praise from the likes of NPR, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Gorilla vs. Bear, Highsnobiety and more. Today, she returns with her first new material since last year. Listen to new single “Alone, Together,” alongside an alternate version of the track in collaboration with Josh Burgess from Yumi Zouma, HERE or via Brooklyn Vegan HERE.
Claire George on the complementary tracks:
"'Alone, Together' covers the different seasons in the lifecycle of a failed relationship. The phrase "alone together" shifts meaning over the course of the song, tipping the scale from an expression of obsession and passion to one of hollowness and defeat.
I started playing this song at shows as a piano ballad over a year ago, and earlier this year Josh from Yumi Zouma approached me about recording the song together. In our recording session, the song began to take on a different energy than that of the ballad I'd originally written, and I thought it would be interesting to create a duality not only within the song, but by releasing two versions of the song to express the two meanings of the phrase."
Claire George is bringing her live show on tour this Fall. See below to find a show near you, and get your tickets HERE.
