I am a big fan of Shawn William Clarke's and have been since I first heard him 13 years ago.
Shawn is definitely an audiophile who cares deeply about making great sounding recordings. Each time he sets out to make a record, he assembles a team of similarly-focused musicians and crew, and each time, the product is gorgeous. I love a project where the end goal is: sounds great on vinyl.
You'll love Shawn's music if you like Paul McCartney (pretty much guaranteed), if you like clever songwriting, if you like beautiful harmonies. This new album, Softer Scissors, is a bit of a departure from his usual super mellow introspective sound - it's downright poppy!
This is Shawn's first new LP in seven years, and he is seeking help in footing the costs associated. Check it out, and if you like what you hear, please consider contributing to his Indiegogo campaign.
