Double LP housed in a 6 panel gatefold sleeve with black inners and obi strip to cover. Clark returns with Death Peak. The album deftly weaves together the various threads of his extensive work, intertwining euphoric melodies and visceral rhythms of warehouse rave with newer vocal and choral elements. Death Peak exposes the tension in Clark’s musical vocabulary “I love finding the fulcrum between opposites - I want my tracks to have sharp teeth, but you want to stroke them too. They sound ancient, but beamed in from the future, soft, corrosive”. Album track Peak Magnetic is a club-ready 4am affair - vigorous, singular, hard to define. Catastrophe Anthem features the voices of a children’s choir eerily chanting the mantra, “We are your ancestors”. Clark has rarely used vocals before, but here every song has an element of human voice. Vocals can be a bit of an awkward hat, that producers wear to try and get attention. Death Peak voices are the opposite of that. The vocal elements are just another instrument in the mix. It’s taken me awhile to get to this level of confidence with it.”
