Cari Clara "Miniature American Model Society" (Tiberius)

Futuristically melancholy.

TransformOnline - Music Review

Watch out Grant Lee Phillips: Cari Clara are coming to take away your electro chill out-pop crown. Anchored by propulsive laptop beats and saturated with synth strings and colorful loops, Miniature American Model Society adds jangly guitars and tenor vocals to shame Elbow’s brethren at the “futuristic melancholy” game. Atmospheres breathe between grooves, hooks submerge only to surface when most appropriate… can you say “music to drive in full moonlight by?”

Midwest talents such as Cari Clara have been overlooked for far too long. May these guys and labelmates The Light Wires will change that in the coming years.
