The Great Escape (Bonus Track Version)

The German electro-indie band Claire consists of four producers and singer/songwriter Josie-Claire Burkle, who discovered their unique chemistry while working on a track for a friend’s film. Their debut EP, Broken Promise Land, featured the title track and “Games,” two tracks that went on to receive popular remixes from Giorgio Moroder and Passion Pit, respectively. This early success (along with international tours with Chvrches, Bastille, and Capital Cities) established the group as a new act with high potential. The album features more of the airy-synthetic atmospheres and pulsing rhythms that have made them a quick success, with the U.S. version of the album adding the essential new tracks “You Walk in Beauty” and “My Audacity.” Burkle’s vocals are the perfect foil for this complex Europop; a relatively stripped-down track like “Neon Love” gives her a platform to shine. The ballad “Hallowed Ground” further shows the group’s diversity, while “Overdrive” and “A Million Drums” pump up the volume and the tempo.
