Matt the Electrician, Claire Conway @ FREMONT ABBEY

"For his latest album We Imagined an Ending (November 5, Burnside), Matt the Electrician (Matt Sever) challenged himself to turn the seven deadly sins on their head. “I got to wondering, ’What would be the opposite of that?’ Despite Sever’s teenage years immersed in nihilistic hardcore and metal, bleak-for-bleakness’ sake has just never been his bag.

“Of course, I didn’t realize ‘the opposite of the seven deadly sins’ was also a fairly well-worn path,” Sever continues with a laugh. “There are all these different virtues that answer the sins, like the seven Bushido virtues and the seven Quaker virtues...”

Sever can rattle off many of his song pairings without even checking his notes: “Night Owls” (Faith); “Big Changes” (Justice); “Dance” (Honesty); “Switch Shadows” (Empathy); “When the Lights Went Out” (Hope); “Heartbeat” (Peace); “Home Again” (Prudence); “Temporary” (Equality); “What If You Needed Me” (Community); and “Mindless” (Knowledge)."

-Artist Bio

"Raised on country radio in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, Claire Conway was drawn to storytelling from an early age. She wrote her first song at ten years old, and soon became eager to grow as an artist in any way she could: painting, writing poems, playing guitar. She would go on to study in an intensive creative writing program at a local high school for the arts, simultaneously crafting her first EP, "Ocean’s Edge," a glimpse into her teenage years in and out of love.

Lyrically, Claire Conway is wise, graceful, and honest. Her songs are dreamy, vivid portraits of her life backed by simple riffs, soft harmonies and moody slide guitar, eliciting comparisons to contemporary indie-folk acts like Waxahatchee and First Aid Kit. Claire’s evolution as a songwriter was evident in her 2019 EP, "Missing," a cathartic reflection on the birth and death of a relationship and a first taste of life away from home. "
