    This full-length record album, recorded at the beginning of 2020 in Beacon, NY, perfectly displays the powerful dynamics of this superfine rock and roll trio. This batch of Clair songs, all written in the last half of 2019, are elevated by the muscle and prowess of his well-suited comrades, Daria Grace on bass, and Aaron Latos on drums. Clair wields a telecaster throughout. You know that glorious Fender sound when things are turned up loud but played (sometimes) delicately. The band performs with the ferocity and immediacy of one of their late-night live shows, while maintaining a mighty but always dangerous control over the songs. A band has to have played—and played—shows together to play with such knowing abandon. In case you can't tell, we are thrilled with this record, and if ever there was a Stephen Clair record to be pressed to vinyl, this is it.

    Includes full lyrics insert and the undeniable joy of fondling vinyl and a real record sleeve! Put the record on, and the band steps right into the room with you.

lyrics

Hurricane coming
Let’s take to the streets
See what’s the deal
Windows are boarded up
The air is still
But we’re feeling pretty wound

Hurricane coming
Left a scar across Florida yesterday
We’re going out
On Rampart street
With our mandolins
Busking for the rats and fellow cranks

Red beans, high tides
May the river rise
I’m gonna love my pillow tonight

Hurricane coming
There’s a lady walking up and down
With that lizard stole her heart
You gotta really feel love
For a reptile

Hurricane coming
Come get under the bed
May the river rise up
To meet us
The air is still
And we’re feeling pretty wound

Red beans, high tides
May the river rise
I’m gonna love my pillow tonight

Hurricane coming
I may never sleep
But I guess we can do that
When we’re good and gone
We dream its the end
But what will the morning bring

Red beans, high tides
May the river rise
I’m gonna love my pillow tonight

about

Stephen Clair Beacon, New York

“Blending the kind of jaggedly cool guitar and piano that put Spoon on the map with a deadpan, almost spoken-word vocal delivery, the song quickly evolves into a righteous bar band anthem that feels as much linked to acts like the Hold Steady as it does to Wilco”
