Peter Guy at the Liverpool Echo talked to local musician Claire
Wells (Liverpool Echo, January 8) http://clairewelles.bandcamp.com/
about her music and influences.
What are your influences and which artists do
you listen to at the moment?
For this current LP, I was listening to a lot
of late '70s-early '80s Sparks (their Georgio Moroder era), Julian Jumpin'
Perez mixtapes circa 1986/7 and Todd Rundgren - who has been a mainstay for many years now.
More recently, I've been really impressed
with artists such as Julia Holter, Jenny Hval, Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point
Never) and Susanne Sundfør. Note my preference for solo artists!
I also enjoy listening to absolute crud such
as Hall & Oates, Phil Collins and enigmatic '80s musician/ Wall Street
trader "Lewis".
Great seeing Todd mentioned but also Oneohtrix Point Never and Susanne Sundfør who produced two of my
favourite records of last year.
