FINER THINGS (OPAQUE CREAM LP)

Clover County is a collector ' of life lessons, love letters, bottle caps, ticket stubs, and ones that got away. With the newfound perspective of her twenties, the 24-year-old singersongwriter packages these memories and mementos from adolescence into her radiant debut album, aptly named Finer Things. Living in the space between folk, americana and alternative, Clover''''s self-proclaimed genre of 'bootgaze' is equal parts sonic descriptor and cheeky joke. 'It started as a way to describe my music, but now I like to think of it as me reflecting on my thoughtful lyrics while staring down at the cute boots I''''m wearing,' she laughs. Inspired by the winking charm of influences like Sheryl Crow and The Chicks, Clover blends the twang of timeless country songwriting with tongue-in-cheek observations on modern love. On Finer Things, Clover found a dream partner in producer Carrie K (Noah Kahan, Jessie Murph, Maggie Antone), who took seriously her intention to honor her experiences of girlhood, heartbreak and love in all its forms. 'I set out to protect the femininity of these songs to honor the little girl I used to be,' Clover says. 'I wanted to let the songs be sweet and youthful, and Carrie gave me the space to do that.' Following the release of her first single in 2023, Clover toured with the likes of Lord Huron, Shakey Graves, and Medium Build, honing her live sound while writing the songs that would become Finer Things. The result is a coming-of-age soundtrack that honors the blessings in disguise, the young loves that come and go, and the ephemera you pick up along the way. Clover County''''s debut album Finer Things is set for September 2025 release via her own Undercover Lover Records and Thirty Tigers.
