Australian chanteuse Clare Bowditch has recently released The Moon Looked On, proving again the theme of 2007: women can rock! Bowditch’s voice isn’t necessarily so unique, but the manner in which she uses her somewhat familiar vocals in a unique context makes The Moon Looked On deserving of a good listen.

This is not another case of bubble-gum pop, or import idolization; Bowditch is actually a talented singer-songwriter. She easily swings from brooding, stringed arrangements (”Peccadilloes”) to fun, upbeat, percussion-heavy tracks (”Your Other Hand”) to sassy, bluesy songs (”When the Lights Went Down”). A peculiar talent from down under, Bowditch joins the ranks of a rising class of skilled singer-songwriters sprouting up from Oceania. So make sure to check out Clare Bowditch & The Feeding Set’s The Moon Looked On. Currently, this album is only out abroad, but you can get yo’self an import or try ebay.

Listen to “When The Lights Went Down” (4.8/5)

Listen to “Your Other Hand” (4.6/5)

Clare’s version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is amazing, and probably the best version I have ever heard. Thanks for posting this information.
