Clark announces the release of
Fantasm Planes. The six track
EP is due for release on September 4th. It is a counterpart to the
recently released
Iradelphic, featuring new variations on key
album tracks as heard in his recent live shows; this includes three
reworks of album tracks and three brand new tracks. The title track was
premiered on KCRW last month, during a guest DJ set from Clark on Garth
Trinidad’s show.
Fantasm Planes sees Clark exploring the harder, more
dancefloor orientated side of his work, and was partly inspired by his
recent new live show setup, which involved heavy, psychedelic synth
improvisations, infectious beatwork and more upfront, melodic sequences.
Clark:
"Ian Brown has always loved the sound of trumpets.
I've occasionally liked the sound of flutes. And bass. Analogue bass and
psychedelic melodies to trip out to on the dance floor. No hippy s**t
though. This EP is more about conjuring the full mind-distortion that you
get when you hear this music on loud sound systems, that's sort of what
Fantasm Planes is about. Refocusing the album into the context of metric
rave gear, but with those full, saturated textures of Iradelphic still
playing a vital part "
Iradelphic, the best performing album of Clark’s career, saw him
exploring different ways to interact with his fans, this included a
streamed workshop where Chris improvised with vintage synths &
modular gear live from his Berlin studio. This album also coincided with
Clark’s first run of US shows in years and fans can expect not to have to
wait that long again to see him back in the States.
