The ever-prolific
Clark will release his fifth album in eight years next month.
Entitled,
Totem Flares, the full-length is the culmination of a trilogy that included 2006's
Body Riddle and last year's
Turning Dragon. And, as the PR puts it,"the baroque melodics" of
Riddle are combined here with the "hard techno drive" of
Dragon on
Totems Flare. But never fear, Clark fans: It's still all about pop. Clark tells it thusly: "The ridiculous brute force of modern pop engineering is definitely not something I've ever shied away from." Those who had a listen to
Clarence Park may have an argument with that statement, but Clark's movement over the past few years has most definitely been towards pop music, and the tunes on
Totems Flare are most definitely the poppiest he's gotten yet.
