Description

Chris Cleverley was born under a solstice moon, in an aura of honeysuckle mysticism. Described as ?impressive? (The Telegraph), and ?haunting? (The Sunday Times) his collection of award-winning independent releases have earned him a robust and loyal, grassroots following. With a visceral lyrical style, inspired by the American-Indie greats Elliott Smith & Sufjan Stevens, his ambient Dream-Folk songwriting explores the place of acoustic-driven music within the 21st Century emotional landscape. Shining an honest light on diverse, arresting themes from pervasive artificial intelligence to disquieting climate emergency, it is no wonder Folk Radio UK have called him "One of the most vital voices of his generation." As a student of Nic Jones and Joni Mitchell records, his blistering guitar technique is infused with the hazy, dreamlike essence of the 60s Folk Revival, while his ambient synth-laden production reflects his well-earned position as a true innovator of the UK acoustic scene. Cleverley?s highly anticipated 4th album, ?Broadcast The Secret Verse? is scheduled for release in November 2022.
