South London-based multidisciplinary artist Clara Mann releases her new album Wishbone.
Seeing the good in life and believing a beautiful future is within reach, Wishbone marks a shift towards brightness and possibility. Mann steps out from behind nostalgia and darkness, allowing herself to be seen and embracing the hope that comes with taking a chance.
The album title takes inspiration from Marina Abramović’s Rest Energy, a performance in which the artist and her partner hold a drawn bow and arrow between their bodies, balancing complete trust against the possibility of ruin. Like a wishbone, it speaks to taking a risk and believing something good might come from the break.
“I felt very bare writing a lot of this album. I wasn’t interested in hiding behind the songs anymore, or being elusive or oblique. Throughout the record, there’s this sense of wanting to be witnessed, and recognised – and in order for those things to happen, you yourself have to be fully present, and willing to be seen. I wanted to live, and to write, from that feeling.”

Mann’s signature vocals are elevated by drawing on a hidden sense of hope. Wishbone finds beauty in taking a chance and allowing the possibility of something good to come.
