Claire Cronin’s debut album Came Down a Storm is coming May 6. It’s a full-band affair, unlike her previous work, and the songs were co-written with Deerhoof guitarist John Dieterich. The album’s coming out on Brooklyn’s Ba Da Bing Records. Expect a fleshed-out sound that’s less dependent on Cronin’s solo guitar.
You can check out the premiere of the record’s first single, “Dark Water,” below. It’s got some damn interesting drones going on.
The English PhD-turned-folksinger will tour this summer and fall alongside Ezra Buchla, who contributed strings to Came Down a Storm. Dates coming soon. In the meantime, pre-order Came Down a Storm right here and seek out Over and Through, her best-of compilation released in 2015. It’s a dark and brooding affair, so brace yourself.
