A surprise winter companion piece to Sus Dog and an album of two halves – one beat driven and stripped, and one more spacious, dreamy and intimate. Whilst Chris impatiently waited for Sus Dog’s release, he wanted to do something novel to promote the record. He started making new, related music for some video vignettes. Thus avoiding having to post selfies whilst still feeling like a legitimate human being. These short clips turned into a bit of an obsessive mission, and Cave Dog was born.

Executive produced by Thom Yorke, Chris Clark’s latest album is warm and gratifying, offering the veteran electronic musician’s fragile falsetto as a graceful counterpoint to his intricate production.
Clark recruits none other than Thom Yorke as Exec Producer for his first album centred on his own singing.
It combines his trademark searing synth melodies and beats with vocal hooks. Thom says “the way he approached it all wasn’t the usual singer songwriter guff thank god; it mirrored the way he approached all his composition and recording, but this time it had a human face. His face.”
Chris says “I kept on thinking what would it sound like if The Beach Boys took MDMA and made a rave record”.

Twenty years is a long time to do anything, no matter how well you do it. Even for an artist as restless as English electronic polymath Chris Clark, 20 years of poking and prodding at his hybridized sound might lose its zest. Connecting the dots of Clark’s sizable discography, almost entirely released by Warp Records, is like clocking an earthquake tremor. Where the stylistic variances between early records Clarence Park and Empty the Bones of You are slight, the seven albums from 2006 masterwork Body Riddle to 2017’s Death Peak are all over the map. Noodling modular sequences, heavily processed rap samples, deconstructed live drums, bucolic acoustic guitars, haunted piano themes, loungey jazz vocals, blippy chiptune synths—Clark seemingly never had an idea that wasn’t worth trying at least once. In recent years, however, the pings on his seismograph have been landing much closer together.

This album of plaintive beauty, eerie wyrd arcadian horror and childlike outsider music epitomises Clark’s constant ability to flip-the-script and coherently organise an abundance of new ideas.
Mysterious and morbidly beautiful pieces driven by piano, harpsichord, cello and viola, electronics and voice, are interspersed with fabulously unusual and highly original curveballs.

Chris Clark is an English electronic musician, performing under the mononym Clark. He is currently signed to Warp Records. His latest album features vocal/choral recordings. The daring, innovative breadth of his artistic imagination is given full licence in the sense of expansive space each track so effortlessly conjures, no doubt helped by his previous soundtrack work and sounding more euphoric than he has in a long time.

Clark’s soundtrack for Adam Egypt Mortimer’s psychological horror thriller Daniel Isn’t Real is a darkly euphoric dreamscape that evokes both rapture and dread. The Brighton-based British musician’s mutated orchestra score, released by Deutsche Grammophon, plays its part in telling the tale of the mayhem unleashed after college freshman Luke is taken captive by his charismatic imaginary childhood friend, the increasingly malevolent Daniel.

Clark chases up his excellent 2012 LP Iradelphic with a new self-titled full length, his seventh LP for Warp. Building on the techno/rave directions of his immersive Phosphor live show and his recent Superscope 12”, Clark utilises sound as a structure to create towering sensory spaces that are rich in heady melodies. The theatrical release features ‘Winter Linn’ early on, spreading out a snail-speed frazzled chug that grows and consumes all in its path, whereas ‘Unfurla’ juxtaposes hulking drum kicks against sickly sweet melodic keys. Similarly dramatic is ‘The Grit In The Pearl’ which retains all Clark’s trademark meticulous touches whilst injecting a slick drum jack to create a intoxicating big room favourite.
