Clarke, Jeff
Miracle After Miracle After...
In contrast to Jeff Clarke's (The Black Lips/Demon's Claws) previous solo album, "Locust," which was recorded in a single session in a forest, "Miracle after Miracle after..." is more beautifully ornamented but never overdone. At its core, it is folk music. Clarke could be mentioned in the same breath as Connie Converse, Daniel Johnston, and Atlas Sound, although such traditionally excellent songwriting makes comparisons both easy and inherently reductive.
