April Patterson Clemens is not your average singer-songwriter. Based in Vermont, but originally from Texas, the talented guitarist and songstress boasts a long-standing history in various artistic settings, travelling around the country in search of artistic glory. Ultimately, she did find it in Burlington, a place that’s surprisingly rich in its musical fauna. Committed to heartwarming, hazy indie-folk, Clemens has recently released her latest work, ‘Our Campfire Days’.
A stunning slice of stripped-back goodness and acoustic catharsis, the record sees April Patterson Clemens team up with like-minded guitarist Cobalt Tolbert, making for a single that’s hypnotic and introspective, yet grounded and gentle. Soothing acoustic guitars highly support Clemens’ transformative and otherworldly vocals, here recorded with an oblique reverb on them, a quality that makes the listening experience even more special and hard-hitting.
The formula behind ‘Our Campfire Days’ is not complex or unheard of; yet it’s here delivered gracefully and personally by April Patterson Clemens and Cobalt Tolbert, with an equally attentive lyrical outlook built to feel relatable and meaningful, perhaps nostalgic too. It’s a record we can get lost in, music that aids escapism and reflections… what more could you wish for?
