Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Rebecca Clamp is English but now resides in Finland.
Her debut is a confident record, mostly just Clamp and her piano.
She sings beautifully on opener “Hymn to Chaos” evoking a less quirky Regina Spektor.
“Tower of You” sees a violin added to the sparse sound and it works well. The words are intriguingly odd and insightful.
“Hecate” spins tales of a dark goddess to a nice backdrop.
“The Sad Story of Lola Duchamp”not only has an intriguing title but lives up to it.
Clamp is a promising artist and on this evidence she should be around a long while.
