Claire Cronin, Meshes, Double Winter

Multidisciplinary artist Claire Cronin is here to drop her timeless, expertly executed, haunting folk music. Backing her up on an equally haunting, drone-based accompaniment is Deerhoof guitarist John Dieterich. The result is so good, it’s just been released on her debut album (Come Down a Storm) by Ben Goldberg of the sorely missed publication Badaboom Gramophone’s label Ba Da Bing. If you like Shirley Collins, Neutral Milk Hotel (but don’t like any of the bands who people say sound like Neutral Milk Hotel), and Terry Callier, then you might like Cronin.
