With her debut LP, Finer Things, A.G. Schiano, aka Clover County, reflects on love and relational dynamics, sublimating a restlessness fueled by big dreams. Building on her 2024 EP, Porch Lights, Schiano offers heartfelt vocals and catchy tunes, occurring as both down-to-earth and wise to the ways of the world.
On opener “Anywhere,” verses point to a familiar x-meets-y love scenario that should resonate with fans of mainstream pop-country. Hooky choruses, meanwhile, are more ambiguous, suggesting that Schiano could be addressing an ex, someone who died, or even herself. In this way, the song takes on a seductive complexity, as if Schiano is sharing confessions in code, winking at the listener as she sings.
