Clover Blue (they/she) is a First Nations musician and artist championing the power of vulnerability and tenderness through song. Recalling the lineages of Leonard Cohen, Elliott Smith and Nina Simone they present intricate, introspective, intense avant-folk songs with a strong alt-rock influence, grounded in life-based narratives. Clover Blue offers a catalogue of hopeful melancholy, introspective lyricism and whimsical, inquisitive instrumentation. Drawing from a range of potent emotions and poetic images, Blue’s music presents a mixture of folkish melancholy and rage.

Heavy Chest is a sonic journey. 

A project aerodynamically designed to transport the listener to spatial otherness. A voyage of sounds venturing into new territory with every release. The project’s self-produced styling allows any listener to step between auditory dimensions. To bop to Indie bedroom pop, soften to stripped-back singer-songwriter ballads, and, in the case of the newly released E.P. ‘Lake Echo’ embrace the formerly forgone feeling of authentic folk.

In 2022, HEAVY CHEST collaborated with international artist BENEE on the single ‘SUNDAY926’. Produced by Andre and mastered in the USA by Randy Merrill, this ethereal pop ballad showcases the depth of writing and heavyweight recognition now synonymous with the project. This first international feature, along with a second through Kip Nelson (USA) and three classic releases through NiceGuysRecords, means HEAVY CHEST soundwaves have long since left South Pacific shores. A forgotten nostalgia now fills the chests of easy listeners from LA to Amsterdam.

As the project expands, so does Andre’s appetite for reflection and experimentation. Now in full bloom, it is the listener's duty to stop and smell the flowers.
