Clare Maguire's profile from our new issue of the FADER just went online (newsstands October 15th). Read that, featuring the raw London singer/songwriter's first interview in two years, then check out this new cover of the blue, mid-century room-pacer "Black Coffee," which sees Maguire's voice wallowing over spare piano and warped kick drum before dovetailing into an unusual, bopping synth section in its final moments. Sounds simultaneously like the 1940s and now—killing it from every angle.
