One of the serendipitous joys of browsing the Internet is stumbling upon a new album from a fav artist. And fortunately tonight happens to be one of those nights. Warp recording artist Clark has a new album out folks!!! Actually, Iradelphic came out April 2nd so excuuuuuse me for being so behind the ball. Regardless, if you don't know about this man you better act like you know. His catalog is full of some of the most beautiful, epic, psychedelic music in the genre (electronic/IDM). However, placing any kind of label on this man's output is almost an insult because he clearly marches to the beat of his own drum (machine).
I am listening to the album as i write this, and so bright and beautiful are the melodies on Iradelphic, i feel like sunshine is going to come out of my face. It sounds like an astral projection to a world made of clouds that talk to beings made out of silver energy that kinda look like the monster form Forbidden Planet. And when they talk, they speak in tearing synth sounds that rip through their cloud reality to reach your pathetic human brain.What can i say, trying to describe what this album sounds like just makes me sound like Terrance Mckenna.
To compare it to his other albums it most closely resembles Body Riddle or Totems Flare. His sonic palette has expanded even greater on this album to include Spanish style guitar and even female vocals. And of course, it works. The results are not unlike an album by Stereolab or Broadcast recorded by, well, Clark. Besides the fact that Clark is one of the most technically savvy producers, he has an AMAZING knack for making very catchy tunes that have a way of softly nestling themselves in your brain like some kind of really dope bedtime lullaby. I cannot sing this guys praises enough. To know his catalog is to get an education on how to produce on a higher level. Damn you Clark for kicking all of us other producers in the balls! Whatever, do yourself a favor and grab this immediately!
