Featured on the cover of The Deli back in 2007, Clare and the Reasons play elegant pop propelled by married couple Claire Muldaus Manchon’s sublime voice and Olivier Manchon’s imaginative orchestral arrangement – they both worked on several Sufjan Steven’s songs, and scored several movies’ soundtracks. Definitely darker and more tribal than the band’s average material, the band’s new single "Bass Face" was inspired by a conversation the couple had in Berlin with a bass player, who claimed he "made no face" when playing his instrument. The single’s video (streaming below) protrays the "bass man" as some sort of new Elephant Man, while strolling aimlessly through the frozen streets of the German capital city.
