Alex Clare

For many listeners, their first introduction to Alex Clare came courtesy of “Too Close,” the catchy tune played during the recent Internet Explorer commercials. There’s more to Clare’s music than that, though. Melding intimate vocals with drum-heavy tracks, Clare showcases his range as an instrumentalist and vocalist on Lateness of the Hour, his debut release. While his peers continue to dance around in the realm of heavy bass drops, Clare conveys a spectrum of emotions through the sheer expressiveness of his voice and the overall dynamics of his instrumentation.
