about

“Claire Lodge is a bold and intrepid sonic explorer of the outer limits of electric guitar improv. Surrealist soundscapes commingle with spaghetti -western avant-skronk. It’s almost like her nervous system is directly hot-wired to her fretboard. Definitely an adventurous out-ride and not recommended for the timid or faint of heart!” - Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley)

”Countless guitar players employ electronic effects, but few embody a specific timbre the way Claire Lodge does. Spring reverberation, her signature color, tends to sound trashy, surreal, and eerily evocative. You can apply the same adjectives to Lodge’s compositions, playing, and production. Like spring reverb itself, she excels at conjuring vast, desolate landscapes occasionally punctuated by spasmodic violence. (And remarkably, she does so without sounding surfy-kitschy or Morricone-cloney.) This is mood music at its darkest and dampest." - Joe Gore (PJ Harvey, Tom Waits)

"Claire Lodge is part Chaplin, part Marc Ribot, part Lee Ranaldo, part PJ Harvey, part Clint Eastwood, part Alex Cox and part Beefheart. Her songs are the best drugs in your favorite dreams. The world is complacent and can become stale and boring. Claire Lodge won't allow that. She is constantly pushing the envelope and pushing forward. Thank you Claire, you're a breath of fresh air." - Tom Cheshire (West End Motel, ANDPW, TCB)
