Renowned indie-folk singer, songwriter, and producer Josienne Clarke has released her highly anticipated album, Parenthesis, I, via her own label, Corduroy Punk. On Parenthesis, I, Clarke has not only embraced her past but has also redefined herself in the present, presenting a body of work that is both timeless and deeply personal, and her best to date. “This is the sound of my journey to some kind of resolution, seeking and finding a safe path of my own,” she says.
Throughout her career, Josienne Clarke has been both a Rough Trade-signed artist and a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winner, two opposing poles that neatly sum up her inability to be pigeonholed. After the success of her 2019 solo record, In All Weather, and the indie-infused A Small Unknowable Thing in 2021, she released the EP I Promised You Light and the covers EEP Now & Then in 2022. In 2023 she released Onliness (songs of solitude and singularity) – a moment of personal reclamation, which saw her re-recording songs from her back catalogue. Now, she stands on the cusp of a new era with Parenthesis, I. Shimmering, warm, intimate, and profoundly heart-wrenching.
The album is a masterful journey through Clarke’s personal and musical evolution. On Parenthesis, I, she draws influence from folk greats Nick Drake and Sandy Denny, as well as more contemporary artists like Julia jacklin, Courtney Marie Andrews, Anaïs Mitchell and Lucy Dacus. “It encompasses all of my musical influences. You can hear flavours and textures from all the records I’ve put out in the last 5 years. After an interval I am presenting myself to the world, reworked, remade, anew” says Clarke, who produces all of her records, and also plays guitar, saxophone, clarinet and recorders throughout.
From the opening chords of ‘Friendly Teeth,’ Clarke invites listeners into a world of unfiltered honesty and emotional vulnerability. The poignant exploration of truth over myth sets the tone for an album that effortlessly weaves together themes of personal growth, resilience, and self-discovery.
Clarke’s ability to confront challenging subjects with grace and authenticity is a testament to her songwriting prowess. ‘Forbearing’ dives deep into themes of failure, suicide, and miscarriage, ultimately celebrating the transformative power of changing one’s perspective. Between 2020 and 2022, at a time when her music career was significantly changing track, Clarke suffered a series of miscarriages, leaving her feeling suicidal and without a purpose. “I thought I had nothing to show for my existence,” she says. “Being at your lowest, where you can’t withstand your situation any longer, is a place from which you either give up or you fundamentally change the way you think about yourself, life and the space you afford yourself in it,” she continues.
The confessional ballad ‘Most Of All’ condenses Josienne Clarke’s life story into five verses. “It is a licking of wounds and counting of blessings, taking stock and setting straight in my head,” she says. “It’s one of those songs where I’m a bit exposed and I almost can’t bring myself to share it. Several times I nearly took it off the tracklist, but experience has taught me, those ones end up being among my audience’s favourite songs,” she goes on. The version that made it onto the final tracklist is the original demo Clarke recorded, just her voice and guitar, lo-fi and honest.
Throughout the darkness shine many moments of resilience. “Bring me a double edged sword, and I’ll show you an iron will” sings Clarke on the soaring ‘Double Edged Sword’. “Sometimes your continued existence is enough, the bold move, an act of resistance. Going through something difficult and coming out the other side is an achievement in itself. Holding your ground or a boundary is not aggression, refusing to surrender is not the same as fighting,” she notes. “I was going for the sound of The Stone Roses ‘Waterfall’ meets Taylor Swift’s ‘Anti-Hero’ played by a folky singer-songwriter!,” she adds with a laugh.
Another stand out moment is ‘Fear of Falling’, a modern Americana number that captures the struggle of leaving the past behind and embracing a brighter future. “This song contains imagery from the beautiful place I now live, the Isle of Bute in Scotland. I walk along the harbour everyday and take in the sea air, it’s great for the soul and artistically inspiring. I take a deep breath of it and remind myself to leave the past where it belongs,” explains Clarke.
As Clarke aptly states, “The songs and their themes are immensely personal to me, but more importantly, these themes may be relatable to others.” With lives characterised by complexity, nuanced feelings, and the slow, arduous process of growth, Parenthesis, I encapsulates Clarke’s journey to resolution, seeking and finding a safe path of her own.

In her own words, Josienne Clarke viewed her 2021 album – A Small Unknowable Thing – as a leap into the abyss. Finally free from the industry structure that had been built around her over the preceding decade and more, she released the album via her own label, Corduroy Punk Records, and handled every aspect of the album’s writing, recording, and release herself, on her own terms. Free from her previous role as one-half of a duo and losing the genre constraints she was quickly and lazily placed within, she came out of that chapter emboldened – but still not truly free.
From her home on Scotland’s Isle of Bute, Josienne began thinking about the idea of reclamation. Cutting her teeth in an industry that so often works against the artist it’s supposed to support – and with a lingering idea in the wake of Taylor Swift’s ‘Taylor’s Version’ project – Josienne began revisiting the songs in her back catalogue that felt buried somehow; that had never had the spotlight she felt they deserved, for myriad reasons.
Onliness is both a wholesome project and a spellbinding work in its own right. Opening with one of her earliest compositions – ‘The Tangled Tree’ – and closed by a brand-new song, it presents a career retrospective viewed through a new lens. The albumis comprised of reworked versions of fan favourites and hidden gems from a back catalogue that always glimmered, but this time they’re entirely hers, carrying everything from booming drums to intimate acoustic guitars, with Josienne’s powerful yet, at times, fragile voice whispering and screaming straight into the listeners ear.
“It’s a mixture of songs that were singles, that I wanted to reclaim in some way, and then other songs, some really great songs, that never got the attention I think they deserved,” Josienne explains. “Artists are constantly required to create new content, this content is consumed in the short term and forgotten about,” she continues, speaking of her other motivation for the record. “When a big label owns the masters of your songs forever you earn little to nothing from those recordings, it’s not surprising that an artist would have to explore re-recording from a financial standpoint alone. I’ve found that it’s no longer financially viable for me not to revisit material, even being a prolific songwriter it’s just not sustainable for me in the long term.”
Throughout the process, Josienne was clear that she wanted the album to work on its own terms, that it could stand tall as a brand new chapter even to those unfamiliar with the initial recordings. She also wanted to approach each new recording as a singular exercise, to follow the instincts that she’s honed over the past few years, adding synths, electric guitars and found sounds to the recordings. “Great songs can wear a variety of interpretations and perhaps the idea of one definitive recording is a bit rigid and reductive,” she says. “Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy has been revisiting his own songs, reworking and re-presenting them wonderfully over and again throughout his career. Anais Mitchell’s XOA is on constant rotation in my house and I love the reframing of songs I know from her other projects in that stripped back simplified setting. So it’s not a new idea, or one that’s exclusive to me, but it’s a much more creative endeavour with much more for the listener to gain than a consumerist driven ‘best of’ compilation.”
Onliness opens with ‘The Tangled Tree’, a song Josienne wrote back in 2004 and one that she considers very important. “I wrote that song so long ago, I always liked the guitar part I’d written. I never felt like a great guitarist, but it was mine, and I lost that over the years when I stopped playing it,” she explains. “Now I’ve put it on an electric guitar with some distortion at the edges, and I’m playing it exactly how I want to play it. Going back and reclaiming that, and playing it myself, felt like it captures the spirit of this whole project.”
Elsewhere, ‘Anyone But Me’, a study in possessiveness, taken from 2013’s Fire & Fortune LP, doubles down on the paranoia that permeates throughout and presents an even more frenetic three-minutes than its original take, while ‘Homemade Heartache’ showcases Josienne’s softer side; a woozy country ballad that appeared briefly on an EP a few years ago. “I used to joke that I wanted to sell it to let Emmylou Harris or Dolly Parton,” Josienne confesses, “but I always saw the potential in it, even if initially it was a little bit too country for me.”
Onliness concludes with a brand-new song, ‘Words Were Never Answer’. Set against an acoustic guitar, Josienne’s words are sharply enunciated as she sings of the power in letting go, despite all the words you have that you still might want to say. “I introduce this song as the sum total of everything that I’ve learned in my forty years of life” she explains. “Many times, I’ve tried to explain things to people that are never going to understand, and I’ve learned that there’s a moment to stop explaining, to stop talking, to stop using words.” Onliness is a striking collection of songs, a real overview of an artist who has beautifully traversed their own path, no matter how rocky it became. The album takes its title from a word Josienne thought she’d invented, only later to find it already exists. Onliness: the fact or condition of being alone. “It means both solitude and singularity; being one of a kind, but also alone in the sense that you are apart from other things,” Josienne says of the title’s meaning. “So, it has both a positive connotation and a really melancholic one – and I feel like that fits every song that I’ve ever written.”
Award -winning Indie-Folk artist Josienne Clarke has released new single ‘The Tangled Tree’ from her upcoming album ‘Onliness (songs of solitude and solidarity) set to be released April 14th 2023.
The single is a beautiful, reworked and recorded version of an earlier composition back in 2014. Of the song Josienne Says:
“I wrote that song so long ago, I always liked the guitar part I’d written. I never felt like a great guitarist, but it was mine, and I lost that over the years when I stopped playing it,” she explains. “Now I’ve put it on an electric guitar with some distortion at the edges, and I’m playing it exactly how I want to play it. Going back and reclaiming that, and playing it myself, felt like it captures the spirit of this whole project.”
Josienne Clarke has made her music with no label, no producer and no musical partner, Josienne is in complete control and you can feel her power and strength through her songs. If ‘The Tangled Tree’ is anything to go by then her upcoming album is going to be electrifying.
‘Onliness (songs of solitude and solidarity)’ is available to pre order now.

“It’s an eclectic mix ranging from experimental and psychedelic, synth-infused pop numbers, to the known and loved 60’s Beetle’s-esk rock harmonies – as well as the odd country blues nugget thrown in which is paired with the occasional Pixy Jones twist. Talk about an album living up to its name. Consisting of 13 tracks in total, ‘Bits n Bobs’ is truly a solid launch to any solo career.” – Hive Magazine

“He’s put words and music to vinyl and the results make compelling listening. Carrion Repeating is an album of eleven genre-less observational tracks, documenting our pitiful existence.” – Louder Than War
39. Horace Andy – Midnight Rocker
“Over the past five decades, the legacy of Andy’s voice has reflected his music’s history. Just as the acetate of a dubplate wears with each play, giving the genre its uniquely decaying instrumental quality, so his voice has matured from the clean, high-register clarion call on breakout single Skylarking into a richer, more vulnerable tenor. His first collaboration with British dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood, Midnight Rocker is the perfect showcase for this late-career sound, revisiting a selection of Andy’s earlier material in addition to six new tracks.” – The Guardian
40. Peaness – World Full Of Worry
“Peaness have delivered the aural equivalent of a sugar rush that leaves you exhilarated but with a bit of a come down.

43. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Omnium Gatherum
“The album is a smorgasbord of delights for any and all fans. Omnium Gatherum is proof that the band are enjoying a newfound freedom of being unshackled from their own self-imposed limitations to work albums through individual styles. Everything is on the table to be devoured, a pure feast of aural pleasure.” – Louder Than War
44. Weyes Blood – And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow
“And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow gently bombards you with one fantastic tune after another.” – The Guardian
45. First Aid Kit – Palomino
“Palomino’ flits between the certainties and uncertainties of love with ease, strengthened by deeper musical experimentation that won’t alienate longtime fans. Another gem in First Aid Kit’s consistently good arsenal of timeless, harmony-rich roots music.” – NME
46. Jessie Buckley & Bernard Butler – For All Our Days That Tear The Heart
“The actor and the former Suede guitarist deliver a beautifully produced folk-inflected set that showcases Buckley’s magical voice.” – The Guardian
47. Foals- Life Is Yours
“Foals headed into this process as a lean, mean, party-starting machine. The opening title track showcases that taut approach, warm optimism and fixed focus as Afrobeat rhythms greet Yannis comes blinking out of lockdown, rave-ready, can in hand.” – NME
48. The Myterines – Reeling
“Reeling’ is gripping throughout, and the band always seem ready to ascend to another level.” – NME
49. Columbia – Embrace The Chaos
“A life-affirming set of songs that will smash whatever stands in its way. For once, we alternative types beg the gatekeepers to put up barriers. It’ll only be that much sweeter when Columbia destroys them!” – Travellers Tunes
50. Kula Shaker – The Once and Future King
“It’s a cracking slice of psychedelic rock at it’s best and a great return from the quartet who brought us the brilliant K back in the mid nineties.” – Louder Than War
51. Wrest – End All The Days
“The act’s new collection of songs End All The Days paints pictures and creates unparalleled snapshots of days gone by, of memories not so pretty. Lyrically, the songs are poised expertly, and are poetically balanced.” – I am Tuned Up
52. Hot Chip – Freakout/Release
“One of the most consistently entertaining electro-pop outfits of their generation have released their most introspective album yet.” – NME
53. Yard Act – The Overload
“A wonderfully wacky debut…The Leeds band’s debut is a wild ride through their Yorkshire upbringing, and the curly characters they picked up along the way.” – NME
54. TVAM – High Art Lite
“Listening to TVAM’s fierce and fiery new long-player, ‘High Art Lite’, feels like a dress rehearsal for this unavoidable solar apocalypse. The album is surf garage in a furnace. A synth orgy in a barbecue pit. A blistering barrage of fervent guitars and guttural synths, washed in plastic luminosity like a nuclear spill at Wigan Pier.” – Electronic Sound
55. Mother sun – Train Of Thought
“The album includes many of Petrucci’s finest solos, but the overall impression conveyed by the record is of unstoppable, if murky, power.” – Louder Sound
56. Orange G – The Void Bereft
“Beautifuly crafted songs with outstanding vocals.” – Music Scene Wales
57. Ben Pagano – Exploring Dreams
“Ben Pagano enthralls on the rousing “Feeling Down,” navigating both spacious synth-laden soundscapes and impassioned rock with cohesive success.” – Obscure Sound
58. Mike Legere – Memory Forming Clouds
“Awonderful slice of raw emotion.” – Up To Hear

“They are a band you absolutely want to love – female-fronted, searching and sensitive, organically grown, tackling themes like the infinite as well as confessionals about love and loss.” – The Guardian
61. Moor Mother – Jazz Codes
“A stunning continuum of Black music.” – The Guardian
62. Gabriels – Angels & Queens – Part 1
“Brooding gospel soul with a shimmy and a stomp.” – The Guardian

64. The Reverse Cowgirls – Fortis et Fidus
“While never losing the cow-punk fervour of its predecessors, Fortis et Fidus is a markedly different beast, lyrically poignant and musically inventive with key tracks.” – Louder Than War
65. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Cool It Down
“A triumphant, rewarding return.” – NME
66. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Return of the Dream Canteen
“An Overwhelming Feast.” – NME
67. Wunderhorse – Cub
“Teenage punk evolves into a rock’n’roll troubador.” – NME

69. Pale Blue Eyes – Souvenirs
“Heartwarming optimism is what characterises their debut from the get-go. Souvenir begins with frenetic electropop opener ‘Globe’, its underpinning rich vocal and twinkly synth doubling calling to mind OMD and New Order, and the chanted “you got this” call and response oozing hope and self belief.” – Clash Magazine
70. Woodoo Man – Y Nos
“The album draws on the artist’s love of solitude. It is a celebration of the beauty of the night and its mystery as he urges us to free our minds and open our hearts to the unknown.” – Music Scene Wales
