Description
"What We Have Now" by Clara Joy
Shimmy-2030 (Release Date: May 23, 2025)
Shimmy-Disc presents 2025 with a new voice, releasing her DEBUT LP.
Clara Joy is a songwriter full of melody and vision. These ‘Home’ recordings were made by Clara in NYC between 2020 and 2024. The songs were then Arranged, Mixed & Mastered by Kramer in December 2024 in his Studio in the mountains of North Carolina.
Clara is at the dawn of her career and Shimmy-Disc is proud to bring her amazing work to the world.
May this Creation be a beacon on the murky horizon of this Pyrocene age landscape we find ourselves traversing.
This album is a love-letter to New York City, written by a breaking heart weathering the deep indigo night of a soul realizing dawn will release it from the dried tears of youth. There is no brighter or harsher wasteland of self-discovery than the one in which we see that childhood is a dream and the Now is something we will have to fabricate alone, from those broken mirror shards of memories in service to a world that does not seem to know how to care for us any longer.
Full of feeling and shepherded by Clara’s intensely honest vocals, these songs transcend place and time to share a universe of wonders beneath the hard-wrought questioning of the deeply human condition we are all living within.
The 1st pressing is limited to 111 hand-numbered LPs on 150gm black vinyl, available exclusively through the Shimmy-Shop & on Bandcamp.
A Clear vinyl pressing is also available.
A download link for the LP is included with each Vinyl purchase.

Portrait of Clara Joy by Su Koko
"The LP threads introspection through melody with unsettling grace. Clara's voice, bare and unwavering, moves like a confessional in the dark, revealing not just a moment of vulnerability, but a sustained unraveling. The album captures the intimacy of solitude and the slow evolution of thought...plays like a fever dream in the shape of a pop song- gentle, yes, but also cracked around the edges." - It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine
