clark CLARK [Bonus Track] (BRC446) Japan Music CD

Product Description
Content Introduction: A violently bizarre fetishism for masses of sound, the genius Clark enters a high-resolution, National Geographic-esque minimal mode in his latest eponymous work. "If there's one thing that has given me chills and excitement this past year, it's this new album from Clark. Seriously, seriously, seriously amazing." - Clark, the genius who has carried on the classic [WARP] DNA of artists like Bibio, Aphex Twin, and Autechre, and has led the label in the 2000s, releases his latest work, his first original in two years! Following "Feast/Beast," which can be considered a culmination of his work to date, and the single EP "Superscope," which attracted attention for its synchronization with oscilloscope-based visuals, this new work begins with the teaser track "Unfurla" (M-3), which Pitchfork praised as "an intoxicating sense of exhilaration as you charge towards a hazy sea of ??clouds or a low-oxygen peak" and selected as Best New Track. It enters a minimal mode in which an unusual fetishism for each and every note, influenced by his move to Berlin, is repeated with firm intensity! While interspersed with tracks like the eerie silence of the piano solo "Strength Through Fragility" (M-4), reminiscent of a performance in the center of a typhoon, and the industrial, unconventional sound of "Snowbird" (M-7), which resonates with the new generation of artists like OPN and Arca, the album features a solid, hard-hitting beat that relentlessly pounds out while maintaining a consistent tone, invading the listener's mind with a whirlwind of diverse scenes, much like a recording of a live performance. Especially thrilling are tracks like "The Grit In The Pearl" (M-8), a killer track that lifts you up with euphoric synth layers in superb resolution before plummeting into a half-tempo dystopia, and the majestic ambient closing track "Everlane" (M-13). As Clark himself says, "Music is like sculpture. It's about capturing the moment when the energy reaches its peak and maintaining that image forever," and this album is a parade of breathtaking scenery that your brain simply can't process! This is Clark's confident and powerful sound, befitting a self-titled album! About the Artist Clark | Clark is a symbol of the 2000s Warp label, emerging as a successor to UK techno, inheriting the blood of Aphex Twin and Autechre. He is the label's most prolific artist and is currently based in Berlin. With his sensational debut album "Clarence Park," he continued to release masterpieces such as "Body Riddle," which remains immensely popular among core fans, and then achieved a global breakthrough with "Turning Dragon" in 2007. Since then, he has continued to release albums, EPs, and greatest hits albums at an astonishing pace. His latest album, bearing his artist name, embodies Warp's ideal of creating an original sound that no one can imitate, breaking down genre boundaries with electronic music, and is a truly heartfelt work that only someone like Clark, who imbues any style of music with an unmistakable madness, could have achieved.
