Chris Cleverley - In A Dreamlike State
LCM Song Of The Day: ‘In A Dreamlike State’ - Chris Cleverley
Our featured track today is the latest single from Birmingham based singer-songwriter Chris Cleverley. It’s the first single from his brand new second studio album ‘We Sat Back and Watched it Unfold ‘ set for release on November 11th. The single features a host of LCM favorites including Evan Carson, Lukas Drinkwater & Jamie Francis and it was produced by Sam Kelly. The video was produced by another talented friend Rob Bridge at Redwood Photography.
Chris will be launching his new album with his trio (Kim and Kathy) at The Green Note in Camden on November 4th.
Maybe it is Chris Cleverley’s eternally restless, whirring chasm of a mind that leads him to constantly innovate and re-imagine his unique interpretation of 21st Century Alt-folk music. With a visceral lyrical style, inspired by the American Greats Elliott Smith and Paul Simon, Chris shines a light on diverse, arresting themes from deteriorating anxious minds, via damaging gender constructs, to mystical tales of the occult. Possessing a guitar fingerstyle steeped in the lore of the UK Folk Revival, the essence of John Martyn and Nic Jones pulses through his veins. With a blistering yet delicate technique, described as ‘Impressive’ by The Telegraph, Chris is fast becoming one of the standout players on the UK Songwriting circuit.
