I was like "Vintage synths, reverb... pretty nice. Nothing spesh."

 

Then the beats came in and I was all "Okay, NOW we're talking!"

"To me 'Iradelphic' is looming, ambiguous, radiant. Glowing, whole, invincible, complete." - Clark

 

Some words from Clark

 

"I've been hunting down that elusive paradox. To create something that didn't sound like what I've done before. But was also unmistakably me. It's quite a maddening task."

"I don't think I've ever recorded in so many diverse locations; there was a lot of field recording going on in Snape, Sussex, harpsichords and orchestral drums. All recorded with a variety of tools. From £8k Cold War microphones, bling studio set ups, to laptop microphones, crumbling cassettes, Dictaphones. It all got used."

 

"Then a massive recording session in Wales with Bibio, only some of this is used on the album."

"I played a lot of guitar after leaving England, played pretty obsessively everyday for about a year. I never played it before but I picked it up pretty quick I reckon. I'm just stubborn with stuff like that."

"It feels like it's been a massive test, a huge, all engulfing self imposed boundary that I had to step over, can I transform all this wild instrumentation and confounding, chaotic will into something with a monolithic unity, can I bring all of these seemingly contradictory shifts in mood into a homogenous whole? I hope I've nailed it"

Seems like a fucking MASTERPIECE. And like he recorded so much material that he could easily kick out new stuff sooner than every 3 years or so. Like in the old days. Do you think I will be able to get the LP cheaper than from Bleep?

I have learned too many times not to preorder from bleep.

 

I haven't been this excited about a new album in quite awhile. I got Clarence park right when they announced him as a new signing on warp and I was smitten from the get go. this album is going to slay.

On Dec 24 2001, a courier truck pulled into my drive and dropped off a package. Inside the package was a note and a bundle wrapped in tissue paper. Printed in bold was a letter and cover page with the message,

"Every wrench head needs a wrench"

"Every Henderson wrench head needs a Henderson wrench"

"There is only one set known to exist"

"Enjoy, my friend"

a lot of the track names are very un-clark

 

Yeah. But some are very Clark, like Skyward Bruise / Descent, or that Henderson Wrench

Could you explain the Henderson stuff please?

 

No, I just found that page and know nothing about it. :)
