Clara Obscura is the sophomore album by the Relationship.

Overview

Clara Obscura was released on April 18, 2017. The album was first announced alongside the lead single, "Break Me Open," on January 31, 2017. Aside from frontman Brian Bell, the album features a wholly new band lineup from the group's eponymous debut.

Nic Jodoin produced the record, recording the band at his own Valentine Recording Studios [1][2].

The band undertook a more intentional marketing effort for this record than they had with the previous one, releasing a music video for "Break Me Open” and doing more interviews surrounding the album.
