clovers daughter is the indie pop/alternative project of Minneapolis-based songwriter Noor Shami. The Palestinian-American artist blends the emotional honesty of Big Thief, the depth of Ethel Cain, and the dreamy textures of The Marías into an intimate yet expansive indie pop sound.  clovers daughter’s debut EP, Bittersweet (2025), introduced her introspective approach to songwriting, exploring the push and pull of young relationships through themes of nostalgia, uncertainty, and connection. Later that year, she released her debut album, Am I Worth It?, a 10-track project centered on the aftermath of betrayal and the emotional patterns that linger long after a relationship ends.Her second EP, Fragile Feeling (2026), builds on those themes with a more refined perspective, examining vulnerability, miscommunication, and the complexities of intimacy with clarity and restraint.  In under two years, clovers daughter has toured with Darlingside and BabyJake, surpassed 180,000 streams on Spotify, and was named Artist of the Month by The Current in June 2026.  With her sophomore album set for an August 2026 release, clovers daughter will bring her dynamic live show across the Midwest on a regional tour starting in August through September. 

There is a refreshing catharsis that Emily How’s music evokes, tapping in to feelings that feel so familiar but often lay dormant beneath the surface. Through dynamic compositions and thoughtful lyrics, How crafts gripping stories and shares vulnerable moments that resonate without overstatement. Her vocal performances are both controlled and deeply felt - as consistent in live performance as they are on studio recordings. Combining elements of indie, folk, rock, and shoegaze, How’s sound feels expansive while staying intimate at its core. Following the release of her debut album, How Are You Lately?, she’s emerging as a compelling new voice in indie rock.
