Hear Claire Cronin’s new album The Bruise featuring “Black Water”


Claire Cronin is a unique voice blending the eerie world of horror fiction with haunting, uneasy folk music. As an author, she has captivated readers with her book Blue Light Of The Screen, where she delves deep into her fascination with supernatural imagery and the darker side of cinema.

Beyond the page, Cronin crafts a distinctive sound as a singer-songwriter, producing music that pulses with a heavy, atmospheric quality, drawing inspiration from the intensity of doom metal and the vast expanses of drone. Her sound is a perfect reflection of the themes she explores in her writing—moody, reflective, and undeniably intense.

After a period of focus, Cronin is ready to share a fresh body of work with her listeners. She is set to release her new long-player, The Bruise, which serves as the follow-up to her 2021 album, Bloodless.

The announcement for this exciting new project made waves on music blogs, appearing first on Stereogum, signaling a return for an artist whose work consistently manages to create an atmosphere thick with mystery and emotional depth.
