Uncanny Sounds consists of vocalist Juliet Pang and guitarist Clarence Yeo from Singapore. They’re fluid, often indulging in the search for an unfamiliar but brewing chemistry of a lovely old song. Clarence’s choice of rhythmic finger-picking style often reveals strong groovy influences of R&B, Funk and Jazz. He has performed for numerous corporate and private events locally and abroad, including the opening for Soler in Singapore. Juliet seeks to express herself through the arts, and has dabbled in musical theatre, playing ensemble roles for SRT musicals such as Forbidden City, co-written “被风吹过的夏天” with JJ.Lin and sung the theme song for movie “Eating Air (吃风)” – Esplanade

Being music enthusiasts, we have been busy attending gigs and featuring artists these days we are so shorthanded. This gig happened quite a while ago in Esplanade concourse and we delayed posting this as promptly as we could humanly possible so here we go.

Fluid indeed is how we should describe Uncanny Sounds, with Juliet’s strong but smooth vocals and Clarence’s well played guitarist skills which wow-ed the crowd while we were there. Delving further into their previous performances recorded on Youtube,  I especially like the “Summertime” cover’s arrangement and vocals performed in Hong Kong’s Backstage. It would be nice to have this song included, perhaps in their future album?

Some few more images of the performance:

Also affectionately known as “Sam & Clare”, the dynamic duo enjoys impetus outbursts of creative compositions and daring renditions of their favourite numbers. Sam the vocalist and Clarence on guitar and vocals have together performed a range of genres from R&B to pop & rock at numerous events and popular spots like Wala Wala, Acid Bar and eM by the River. Groovy and refreshing, their acoustic arrangements reveal a contemporary approach with influences of jazz. This weaving of genres intriguingly creates an original and unique style that never fails to surprise the audience. The adventurous pair, cheeky at times, also enjoys song-writing about the littlest moments to the most heart-felt experiences of their journey. Together, they look forward to every charismatic instance of creation and expression through their music, and hope to share them with an unexpecting stranger. – Taken from Esplanade

We first heard them at the Esplanade performance on Jan 10th, and we immediately felt that the duo had great chemistry together. It was a great fun listening to their originals as well as their own renditions of covers(here’s a personal favorite), Sam’s strong vocals coupled with Clarence’s amazing guitar skills mesmerized the crowd and were lucky we got the best seats right in front of them.

We will be expecting an album release and more great music from this talented duo. If you want to catch them in action, they will be performing once again at Esplanade Concourse on the 26th and 27th Jan 2010, don’t miss it!
