Born in Fife, Scotland, Clarissa relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark as a child, whose cultural landscape has continued to fuel her creativity. While she’s maintained an active role in the thriving local music scene, a global audience has awakened to her sound. She first gained international attention with Tech Duinn (2018) followed by The Voyager (2020), which was awarded the esteemed Nordic Music Prize. 

Both more intimate and cosmic in scope than its predecessors, World of Work (her first album for Warp Records) draws inspiration from visionary literature, dreams, and meditative walks. While The Voyager explored the sacred history of the Nordic landscape, World of Work explores the metaphysical landscape of the soul. Considered one of the best albums of the year by prestigious press such as The Guardian, The Wire, The Fader, Crack and more, Clarissa’s abilities as a composer and producer are gradually being noticed. 

Her new single ‘Give it Back’ was an end-of-year gift to her fans, a joyful ode to love.
