Now known as The Clear and with a sound that is unmistakably influenced by his Irish roots, the soulful moody timbre of The Clear's voice is definitely his own. The Clear's deep connection with his music is apperent, it evokes images of a modern romanticism and the ethereal. The Clear 's sound is so everlasting that it will remain with the listener long after the final track is played This new EP is now out and was produced by Byron Wong (The Crystal Method, David Usher etc)
