Claire Rousay & Zander Raymond - Something good

something good is the debut album by claire rousay and zander raymond, based in Los Angeles and Chicago respectively. The origin of their working relationship is perhaps as enigmatic as the album itself: two artists, two places, and an open-ended exchange that gradually became something good.

A close collaborative work that deftly moves between pop song structures and new music abstractions, the album is a document of human imagination and the spaces where it happens – casual music made from domestic spaces. The artists use a wide array of instruments: piano, synthesizer, electric guitar, harmonica, pipe organ and vocals. The recording locations from homes to studios were equally diverse.

“It was made far more spontaneously… more just playing.” - zander raymond

Space and perspective, distance erased, fragments delicately layered. Void of phantom center.

“...a document of ‘making a record.’” - claire rousay
