Vermont’s Clever Girls have announced their new album, “Constellations,” with the single “Baby Blue” as the first widespread release.
When Clever Girls began writing “Constellations,” it was early in 2018 and they had not yet finished recording what would become their first full length album, “Luck.”
“Constellations” was primarily an album written between weeks of tour dates, at the height of exhaustion and amidst self-discovery.
Having just come out of the closet as a queer and gender-nonconforming person, one can find the album set in both front-person Diane Jean’s fantasies, as well as the intimate and impressionistic frontier of their everyday personal life. It is an album about a self-corrected second coming of age that was born in the corners of science fiction and projected onto the walls of Jean’s bedroom.
“Constellations” speaks to Jean’s desire for both personal autonomy that they have not yet experienced, but further, the growth often gained in young adulthood that as a closeted queer person, was lost on them. You can find these emotions are sprinkled throughout the album.
“Constellations” finds Clever Girls uniquely equipped to scrutinize their own euphoria, grief, shame, and accountability. In the end, Clever Girls made an album that put on display all of the shadows and fractals of light inside of Jean’s brain that were seemingly at odds. Above all, “Constellations” is an unassuming proclamation of Jean’s commitment to self-love; it is about all of the little pieces that make them up, and about practicing empathy and compassion for each one.
