Listening to Clare Perrott’s latest single “Biting On the Hand” is like taking a trip back to the golden age of folk. Clare’s effortless falsetto and joy reminds me of Laurel Canyon artists like Joni Mitchell and Mama Cass. Take a moment to step away from modern demands and soak this beauty up.
“This year I really got into thinking about bad habits that I just can’t seem to shake, and with dirty banjo and distorted nylon guitar this song was born,” Clare recalled. “The main message of the song is that we have to let go of things that don’t serve us anymore. I personally keep going back to past mistakes because somehow I cannot let go. We keep biting on the hand that doesn’t help us and going back for more when it only causes sadness and grief.”
Clare will officially launch “Biting On the Hand” at Mojo’s in Walyalup/Fremantle tonight. Tickets are still on sale from Moshtix.
