Clare Easdown, Sydney’s boundary-pushing indie artist, crafts a sonic rebellion in her home studio, where classical training meets raw punk spirit and electronic innovation.“Rebel Hearts” is the kind of song that you can’t help but get stuck in your head and you don’t mind one bit. Recorded, mixed and mastered in her home studio in Menai, the latest song from Easdown is a perfect anthem for the feeling of liberation from the societal cages. Her progression from electronic music producer to punk-inspired artist is evident in every single layer of production.
The track grows gradually, from the ethereal vocal harmonies which are supported by gentle guitar picking, to something more wild and raw. What really hits you is that Easdown is not afraid to leave the rawness – those small flaws that make music sound genuine. It’s nice to listen to something so raw in today’s overly polished music industry. Taking inspiration from FKA Twigs, the ethereal and powerful sound, and Bikini Kill, the raw energy, Easdown makes something unique. For an artist who has been gradually growing into her own since her first single, “My Mind,” “Rebel Hearts” feels like the next logical step. It is the voice of a person who is very confident with herself and doesn’t mind letting the world know.
In a society that tends to dictate what is right and wrong, what is acceptable and what is not, Easdown’s latest piece is a reminder to be true to yourself and amplify your essence. It is for this reason that this track stands out as a masterpiece because it is a blend of different genres of music; trip-hop, trap, and post-punk. Easdown’s voice navigates these aspects with a fair amount of dexterity, moving from fragile to powerful at will. Every listen brings something new, new details and new arguments that Clare Easdown is an artist who deserves attention in today’s post-punk music scene.
