Clark performing music from his new album on Warp Records, ‘Death Peak’, including tracks ‘Peak Magnetic’ and ‘Hoova’, alongside improvisations and musical counterpoints to the universe of the album. ‘Death Peak’ is available now on Vinyl, CD, Digital and to Stream: Buy – Stream – ”I wanted to design a musical space where I could playback and remix my favourite album tracks, and also create some off the cuff improvisations that I feel are an enhancing and flirtatious musical counterpoint to the universe of Death Peak. Going back to the material has made me pick apart some of the sequences and made realise what I value most in music. I tend to shun the pointlessly intricate in favour of the impressionistic, the visceral. I want to extend the boundary of what’s possible in music but not lose sight of the complex, emotional story telling at the heart of it, for me it’s these things that give music a long lifespan, you keep coming back to records that pull you in on a level that bypasses rational analysis. I give priority to the most child-like, pure and agile musical phrases I come up with, and tend to poke fun at myself when I get all dry and technical. Death Peak is a riddle of these most pure and lucid moments, condensed into an enduring and continuous musical wheel. I feel I really closed the circle on this one. But then I would say that. All I can say is that I loved making it. Hope you enjoy it too.” – Chris Clark CLARK LIVE 2017 / NORTH AMERICAN CO-HEADLINE TOUR WITH COM TRUISE More information and tickets at APRIL 21 – Berlin, DE @ Funkhaus 22 – London, GB @ Electric Brixton MAY 01 – Santa Ana, CA @ Constellation Room @ The Observatory* 02 – Santa Cruz, CA @ The Catalyst Atrium* 04 – Portland, OR @ Holocene* 05 – Vancouver, BC @ Imperial* 06 – Seattle, WA @ Neumos* 07 – Eugene, OR @ Wow Hall* 09 – San Francisco, CA @ Mezzanine* 10 – Santa Barbara, CA @ Soho Music Club* 11 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Regent Theater* 12 – San Diego, CA @ The Belly Up* 14 – Denver, CO @ Bluebird Theater* 16 – St. Louis, MO @ Firebird* 17 – Nashville, TN @ Exit In* 20 – Boston, MA @ Together Boston Music & Arts Festival* 21 – Hamden, CT @ The Ballroom* 23 – Baltimore, MD @ Ottobar* 24 – Philadelphia, PA @ Coda* 25 – Brooklyn, NY @ Warsaw* 26 – Montreal, QC @ Theatre Fairmount* 27 – Toronto, ON @ Velvet Underground* 28 – Detroit, MI @ Ghostly Intl/Warp Movement Afterparty at The Shelter* 30 – Pittsburgh, PA @ Rex Theater* JUNE 01 – Indianapolis, IN @ The Hi-Fi* 02 – Cleveland, OH @ Grog Shop* 03 – Chicago, IL @ Concord Music Hall* 04 – Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line Music Café* 05 – Omaha, NE @ Slowdown* 06 – Kansas City, MO @ Record Bar* 07 – Dallas, TX @ Trees* 08 – Houston, TX – White Oak Music Hall* 09 – Austin, TX @ The Mohawk* 10 – Mexico City, MX @ Sala Corona* 16 – Barcelona, ES @ Sonar Festival JULY 07 – Katowice, PL @ Nowa Musijka Festival 08 – Manchester, GB @ Manchester International Festival 16 – Cluj-Napoca, RO @ Electric Castle Festival 22 – Brescia, IT @ MusicalZoo festival at Castello di brescia AUGUST 24 – Montemor-o-Velho Castle, PT @ Festival Forte OCTOBER 21 - Bristol @ Simple Things Festival * Co-Headline shows with Com Truise
