In 2020, Clairo got together with some friends and started a band. Alongside Clairo, the group Shelly features her fellow singer-songwriter Claud and her Syracuse friends Josh Mehling and Noa Frances Getzug. In the middle of COVID, the group released two indie pop songs, “Steeeam” and “Natural,” and that was it. The group seemed like it was a pandemic one-off, but then “Steeeam” went viral, and Clairo performed it live for the first time earlier this year. At Coachella, where Bernie Sanders introduced Clairo, the whole band joined her onstage. Now, we’ve got another two tracks from Shelly.
