For Clea, a 20 year old Brisbane songstress, 2015 has been an extraordinary inaugural year. Her first released single ‘Polyester’ elicited praise from music blogs across the globe for its surprising lyrical complexity and tremulous vocals, rightfully nabbing a spot in the top 10 Triple J Unearthed Quiet Achievers list, and ranking number 50 in Triple J Unearthed most played artist. Together with playing numerous solo acoustic gigs throughout the year Clea found herself merging her dulcet tones with Zefereli, a project kicked off by The Cairos front man Alistar Richardson, and performing around the country supporting the likes of Gang of Youths and Harts.
2016 promises to be an even bigger year with Clea having just released her second single ‘Dire Consequences’ to immediate accolades, a distinct and haunting sound emerging through alluring instrumental accompaniment and production. Her unique and singular manner of song writing and tethered guitar technique is laden with promise of great things to com, setting her refreshingly apart from the bountiful emergence of talented singer-songwriters.
Clea will be travelling to Europe in the upcoming months to perform both her own music as well as tour with Zefereli, working towards the release of her EP by the close of the year.
