Clark - Steep Stims [THROT014LP] *GATEFOLD DOUBLE VINYL WITH SPOT UV FRONT COVER*Following the skewed-unself-help-brilliance of 'Sus Dog' (which marked his first full foray into so ngs, abetted by Thom Yorke), and its companion piece 'Cave Dog', Chris Clark returns to the dancefloor's simple, but no less affecting pleasures, with 'Steep Stims'."I found it hard to pull away from listening to this record, hard to stop making it, I had to remove myself from the Stims and stop enjoying it at some point. The album feels like nature to me. I love it when electronic music feels more naturalistic than acoustic music, more potent, that's the devil's trick, the promise of electronic music." comments Chris."I used an old synth - the Virus on all of the tracks. I used it at Mess in Melbourne - run by my friend Robin Fox - I loved it so much I had to buy one when I got back to the UK, it took a while to find. They're a bit clunky to program but make some of my most favourite sounds." Track Listing: 1. Gift and Wound2. Infinite Roller3. No Pills U4. Janus Modal5. 18EDO Bailiff6. Globecore Flats7.

Muted staccato gives way to field recordings "that gradually put it in this outside space; alien in a meadow somewhere nameless. It feels like a sinkhole. The record kinda swallows itself up and then is gone", ends Chris. Show more
