Kiri Variations

by Clark

supported by

Abstract Daddy Clark at his most beautiful sonically. Favorite track: Cannibal Homecoming.

unclefrnge The first time listened to this album was on a ferry towards the Orkney Islands. A moment in time that I still fondly think of; perfectly encapsulating the sheer cliff faces, deep blue waters and the cold ocean breeze. This album for me captures a moment in time that will be hard to forget, practically iridescent. Favorite track: Bench.

forrest stanley My favorite movie… oh, it’s an album you say? Favorite track: Primary Pluck.

about

This album of plaintive beauty, eerie wyrd arcadian horror and childlike outsider music epitomises Clark's constant ability to flip-the-script and coherently organise an abundance of new ideas.

Mysterious and morbidly beautiful pieces driven by piano, harpsichord, cello and viola, electronics and voice, are interspersed with fabulously unusual and highly original curveballs.

"I want people to listen to this in the same way they would read a set of Roald Dahl short stories; bitter-sweet tales with hooks and teeth and unexpected macabre twists. Proper Witch vibes.” - Clark
