Description
Clark follows his best performing album of all time (Iradelphic) with a fantastic counterpart mini album.
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.
In Clarks own words: Ian Brown has always loved the sound of trumpets. Ive 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, thats 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 Clarks career, saw him exploring different ways to interact with his fans, this included a streamed workshop where Chris improvised with vintage synths and modular gear live from his Berlin studio.
Fantasm Planes contains three drastic reworkings of Iradelphic album tracks, twisted to represent the way he plays them out live. It also contains three brand new recordings.
Iradelphic is a gorgeous dose of diverse sounds from low-key techno and expansive electronica, to minimalist pianos The Independent
Perhaps the most joyful thing about Secret is how collaborative it feels, Clarks squelchy drums and delicate guitar intertwining with Topley-Birds high-wire vocals, which are both sensual and painfully fragile The Guardian
