CLARK - Sus Dog - 2LP - Vinyl [JUN 16]

2LP - Black Vinyl housed in a Gloss Gatefold Sleeve designed by Jonathan Zawada. Vinyl cut by Matt Colton @ Metropolis. 

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".

"Sus Dog is really an album about trust. I’ve only realised, since re-singing versions of Town Crank everyday (see Instagram), what I’ve been tapping into. The idea of "I don’t need to know what you mean". It’s a sparse phrase, scratching at themes embedded in other lyrics throughout the album. Trust, surrender, letting go.

Sus Dog is about unknowing, non defensiveness, beginner's mind. Discovery. The idea of being telepathic is seductive but abit dangerous. It’s all contingent, we're animals with minds more like morphIng vapour than anything solid. Constantly becoming/changing. Sus Dog is a dedication to the love of that process. I’ve written a bunch of love songs, ha never thought I'd say that. "
