CLARA-NOVA is a project(ion) of Sydney Wayser. It is a way to be hopeful about the future while still remaining in contact with our original wildness. It is a lot about love. The sound is of California: youthful, utopian, extraordinarily charming. A voice like a glass house in a new country. Too new for a name: Pop+. She is a sign for the mesmerized that says WELCOME. Neon but real. In collaboration with producer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Perfume Genius, John Legend), The Iron Age EP will be released March 2nd.
