Sling by Clairo
Sling is an album by Clairo, released in 2021. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Amoeba”, on 9 lists with a best position of #9.
Sling, Clairo's second album, came out on July 16, 2021, through Fader and Republic, and it's a long way from the bedroom lo-fi of "Pretty Girl" that made her name. She produced it with Jack Antonoff and Sam Baker, recording at Allaire Recording Studios in upstate New York and finishing up at Electric Lady. Work had started early in 2020: "Reaper" came first, and 35 demos followed.
What came out of all that is soft, woody and grown-up, a record people have filed under everything from vintage pop to baroque pop, folk rock and chamber folk. "Blouse" was the lead single, announced with the album that June, and "Amoeba" is the one the countdowns picked up. Critics loved it, singling out how much her voice had opened up and how much her writing had matured, and it debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200, her first top-20 album.
