Premiere: Auclair – ‘Mersea Mersea Me’

Wonderfully odd yet contagious pop music...

Hailing from London via Canada and Rwanda, Auclair is difficult to define.

A multi-instrumentalist, her abilities span styles, disciplines. Hugely talented, it's almost easier to list what Auclair can't do given the breadth of her output.

Firmly ensconced in London's (for lack of a better term) avant pop scene, recent recording sessions included co-productions with Marc Pell (Micachu & the Shapes, Maxixe, Benin City) and Tom Wegg-Prosser (We Have Band).

Ambitious new EP 'Semaphore' is out on September 29th on Kit Records, a limited edition CD and book package designed by artist Sarah Tanat-Jones.

Clash is able to premiere a new track. 'Mersea Mersea Me' is more than just a fantastic Marvin Gaye pun, Auclair manages to string together something which is both challenging and utterly pop.

A true nugget of joy, you can tune in below.

Auclair is set to play the following shows:

September
24 London Power Lunches (Semaphore Launch Party)
25 Bristol Cafe Kino
