    Dave Graney and Clare Moore, (strangely)(emotional).
    15 track album (includes two versions of one song.
    All instruments played by Dave Graney and Clare Moore.
    Dave Graney, guitars, bass, autoharp, harmonica, vocals.
    Clare Moore, drums, vibes, keys, percussion, backing vocals.

    Joined by Shane Reilly (Lost Ragas) pedal steel on the opening track, Dave Wray (aka Frank Bennett) on tenor and soprano sax for three songs, Genevieve Fry on harp on one song, Will Hindmarsh (aka Twinkledigitz) and Emily Jarrett on backing vocals on two songs and Catherine McQuade, bass and mixing on another.
    Mastered by beats / hip hop producer and drummer Plutonic Lab who had collaborated with Dave Graney on the homage track GRACE TAME IS PRESIDENT in 2022.

    Dave Graney and Clare Moore have in recent years been swinging between song focused studio albums (like this one) and more band focused rock albums, (like their previous set In A Mistly).
    (strangely)(emotional) is so carefully titled because that’s the age we live in. A person has to be sure and careful of their words. It’s a sensitive area, the world, in 2024. Even though it is also brutal , viral and violent all at once. (The ground we walk upon is contested and just holding together with surface tension). So the words are quarantined from each other, in parentheses so as not to be qualifying or commenting on the other.

    The sounds on the album come from vintage drum machines, electric (six and twelve string) and acoustic (nylon and steel string) guitars, pedal steel, harp, harmonica, electric piano, drums, vibes, marimba, mellotron and tenor and soprano sax.
    The words are rich, playful and very personal. Dave Graney is a proud Creative Creep.
    (strangely)(emotional) comes after a year where Graney and Moore toured the country to joy and acclaim with their 90s band Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes. This album was cooking away in the background all the while.
    It’s a Dave Graney and Clare Moore album. They’ve always done their own thing. This time, it’s (strangely)(emotional)

lyrics

Ever get the feeling you’re doin’ something right?
Ever get that note? that message? No?
who are you listening to?
who’s telling you stuff?
who’s interpreting?
why do you need that filter?
it’s the way of the world to bring you down and bum you out

you’re too young – you’re too old
you’re too early – you’re too late
you’re a boy – you’re a girl
you’re a woman – you’re a man
you’re too loud – you’re too quiet
you’re too rough – you’re too soft
you’re too heav\y – you’re too light
you’re too slow – you’re too fast
you’re too strong – you’re too weak

this is the only way to go
this is the only thing to do
you are the only one for this
you got this
you were gaslit for this
