Clara May was officially born in Granada, Spain under a neon sign. Band leader, Tom Silva, a Malaysian-born filmmaker, corporate executive and University of Chicago grad student, teamed up with Nicole Sotelo, a Harvard-trained theologian, author and activist to create the most unconventional of rock bands. But it wasn't till they met esteemed Chicago producer and musician, Phillip Amerson, that the project took off. After developing the material over almost two years, they assembled a band of seasoned players and entered Chicago's legendary Rax Trax Recording studios to cut the first Clara May album, Hush.
Mastered by Doug McBride of Gravity Studios (Veruka Salt, the Walkmen), Hush, explores themes uncommon to mainstream indie music from identity to racism to ethnic conflicts to the war in Iraq.
