Angel-like voice on orchestral string-rock arrangements

The band (The Reasons) around songwriter/singer Clare Muldauer will come out with their second album 'Arrow' on 20 Oct 2009.

Clare and The Reasons are touring since nearly 2 years in the UK, Europe, Japan and the US. At this time they are in France. The next concerts are scheduled for 17, 19, 23 July 2009... myspace.com/claremuldaur.

The press such as The Washington Times compares the music with bands such as Lambchop, Arcade Fire, Architecture in Helsinki; others see similarities to Joanna Newsom - but this lies more in the strings that sound like harps. The angel-like voice of Clare Muldauer and the extra-terrestrial style of Joanna Newsom have nothing in common except being extraordinary; they are from two different galaxies. The most beautiful words has found Maddy Costa at The Guardian “The jazz-inflected arrangements are beautiful: with their water-colour wash of violins, bird-like flutes and swooning celeste they have the heady fragrance of an expensive perfume.”

A great video that shows the life performance qualities of Clare and The Reasons is published on youtube.com/watch?v=mFUOfB3wDl0; on the BBC's 'Culture Show' they are playing the classic song 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'.

Watch the video: 'Pluto' by the Brooklyn based group Clare and The Reasons from the debut album 'The Movie' (Aug 2008). The video is directed by Alexander Kane; edited By Jana Saleh. By youtube.com/user/frogstand.
