Early praise for Claire George:
“[‘Orbits’] seems to send her voice hurtling through space, but for all its dreamy wonder and celestial wordplay, it stays tethered to this world through kind devotion.” - NPR Music
"'Pink Elephants' exists in lineage with the likes of Grimes, Austra, and Purity Ring. Over percolating percussion and ominous synth tones that eventually expand into icy dance-pop beat, George laments a friend lost to addiction" - Stereogum
"George’s electronic magic on “Pink Elephants” is distractingly beautiful, its neon-flavored indie pop masking the song’s heart-wrenching origins." - Paste Magazine
“Claire George makes quite the auspicious introduction with the...wistfully bittersweet [‘Orbits’]” - Gorilla vs. Bear
“Cascine continues to have a superb ear for indie pop gems and Claire George might be the most promising signee yet...heavenly...an immersive soundscape held together by haunting vocals, swelling production, and healing words” - Highsnobiety
"The synth pop artist asks a painful question in this dreamy, languid track from her debut EP" - Resident Advisor
Los Angeles-based artist Claire George will release her long-awaited debut album The Land Beyond The Light via Cascine on May 21st, and today she shares the second single off of the record. Following “Pink Elephants” is “I Promise,” a track that features Claire’s pristine vocals front and center, alongside nostalgic synth currents and skeletal UK garage-indebted breakbeats, stirring feelings of electric lust and yearning. About the track, George said “‘I Promise' is about staying devoted to the people you love even when they are struggling to be their best selves. It’s about the importance of holding space for people to exist in whatever shape they show up in, and a reminder to those who feel flawed or unworthy that they are singularly spectacular.” Check out the song now HERE, and watch a performance video of the track below.
