Clementine has always had a strange knack for taking familiar sounds and finding new soundscapes for them to exist in. With band in tow, Clementime & the Galaxy, one of The Deli Magazine’s Best NYC Emerging Artist of 2011, is ready to project those sounds through the stereoscopic lens of her upcoming record.
For first single ‘Complication,’ Clementine overlays an 8-bit tapestry on top of a maze of never ending breakbeats, making her voice the only refuge throughout the track’s breakneck pace. Complicated indeed… but we are happy to follow vocalist Julie Hardy around until she figures it out. No longer playing second fiddle to the likes of Ellie Goulding and St. Vincent, Hardy is now embarking on her own tour with the Galaxy, and is set to release a new album soon.
See her when she hits up 92YTribeca this Friday, Aug 10 with Johanna and the Dusty Floor. Should be the best place to see them if you find yourself stuck inside of Earth’s orbit this weekend. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
