"Sarah is one of a new generation of musicians currently making waves in Chicago's fertile creative music scene."

New Album With Many Hands out now on Empty Stage Records

“With Many Hands is outstanding enough to warrant the exception. Its slow-moving, almost ambient songs, built largely from reeds, electronics, and voice, span a kaleidoscopic range of moods and textures. On “Cry,” Clausen uses an effects pedal to stretch out a resonant woodwind note like a fitted bedsheet, providing a canvas for her somber singing to move across the song in a dramatic, elegant sweep.”
