Arrow

Brooklyn-based Clare and the Reasons, fronted by collaborators Clare Manchon and Olivier Manchon, has been very busy making music with a lot of instruments - cellos, violas, things to hit, kazoos, baby kotos, saws, recorders, etc.

It also took a bit of wood, nails and many blankets to make Arrow in a recording tent built in the Ditmas Park apartment of Clare and the Reasons' neighbor, friend and engineer, Alex Venguer, Clare and the Reasons deliver an assortment of meticulously constructed and arranged songs, most written by Clare in her very own kitchen, arranged by Olivier in the living room with two cats by his side, and recorded with surgical precision with the help of "Reason" Bob Hart. The album also features a special guest performance from Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond.
