Clover County is a collector – of life lessons, love letters, bottle caps, ticket stubs, and ones that got away. With the newfound perspective of her twenties, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter packages these memories and mementos from adolescence into her radiant debut album, aptly named Finer Things.

Living in the space between folk, americana and alternative, Clover’s self-proclaimed genre of “bootgaze” is equal parts sonic descriptor and cheeky joke. “It started as a way to describe my music, but now I like to think of it as me reflecting on my thoughtful lyrics while staring down at the cute boots I’m wearing,” she laughs. Inspired by the winking charm of influences like Sheryl Crow and The Chicks, Clover blends the twang of timeless country songwriting with

tongue-in-cheek observations on modern love. The album’s lead single “Virginia Slim” captures that lightness of spirit. She faces the possibility of heartbreak, but accepts when things aren’t meant to be instead: “I’m a quick Virginia Slim, you’re rolled all the way from scratch / And lately you’ve been quitting, and I’m too cheap to buy a pack.” The song unfolds like rolling green hills, backdropped by fiddle and bouncy guitar licks. Playful follow-up singles “Good Game” and

“Whiskey Cherry” heckle men who were less than ideal to date – the kind of relationships that don’t deserve their own breakup song: “I leaned into a “bless your heart” kind of energy, cause lord knows they’ll need it.”

For all her humor and levity, Clover takes seriously the experiences of girlhood, exploring romantic, familial, and platonic love across the 11-track album. “You get to explore all of these phases and identities from ages 18-23,” she explains. “I wanted to capture all these different sides of myself.” Dissecting experiences of fleeting and forever love, Clover writes with her heart on her sleeve, nurturing all of her emotions with equal weight. Working between Nashville and Athens, Georgia, she found a dream partner in producer Carrie K (Noah Kahan, Jessie Murph, Maggie Antone), who honored her intentions. “I set out to protect the femininity of these songs to honor the little girl I used to be,” Clover says. “I wanted to let the songs be sweet and youthful, and Carrie gave me the space to do that.” Focus track “Sweeter” exemplifies this softer side – a bittersweet breakup song that Clover brought to Carrie and co-writer Steph Jones to finish with care. They tied up other loose ends across the record with the help of collaborators like engineer Maddie Harmon, co-writer Will Taylor of Hovvdy, and players like Noah Levine and Hank Compton contributing across the record. Over beds of pedal steel and twinkling guitar, Clover’s textured voice shines and glides in its storytelling across the record.

Moving around the south as a child, Clover wanted a moniker that would represent the kind of community she wanted to build around her music; one rooted in people rather than location.

“Clover County sounded like a show I’d want to go to, and I felt like I knew exactly who would be there,” she says. She performed at open mics and backyard shows every week in Athens, Georgia, cutting her teeth in the indie scene at the ground level before the release of her debut single in 2023. Opening for alternative darlings like Lord Huron, Shakey Graves, and Medium Build in her first summer touring, Clover honed her sound on the road. She released her debut EP Porch Lights in 2024, with her single “Ultraviolet” peaking at #22 on MediaBase Triple A charts. Clover never stopped writing, infusing the energy of her live performances and life experiences during this period into the songs that would become Finer Things.

Clover County’s debut record is a coming-of-age soundtrack that honors the blessings in disguise, the young loves that come and go, and the ephemera you pick up along the way. Finer Things is set for September 2025 release via Clover County’s own Undercover Lover Records and Thirty Tigers.
