Courtney Marie Andrews returns with “Cons And Clowns”, her first new music for 3 years.

With a need to embody the unencumbered playfulness of youth, I performed the flute on this monitor, an instrument I haven’t performed since my childhood.”
Andrews is joined by drummer Grizzly Bear‘s Chris Bear, with producer Jerry Benhardt including bass, excessive strung guitar, piano, juno, farfisa and mellotron.
Within the three years since Free Future, Andrews revealed her second assortment of poetry – Love Is a Canine That Bites When It’s Scared, through Simon & Schuster – and has exhibited her art work in US galleries.
