Clark's new album is the bomb?


In what is set to be a corker of a month for Warp, October 2nd sees Clark (formerly Chris) dropping his third full length on our eagerly awaiting ears. Sorely underrated in the shadow of the big Electronica names, Chris Clark snuck out the 'Throttle Furniture' EP in February. Lead track 'Herr Bar' will also kick off the new LP, bafflingly entitled 'Body Riddle'. Judging by that track, and 'Ted' which is currently funking around on the Warp front page, it seems that the St. Albans lad has gone for a more direct, smack-em-in-the-face approach than the sprawling grandeur of 'Empty the Bones of You' (an all-time electronica fave of SB&B). Here's hoping that the rest of the album delivers, and catapults Clark into the big league of beat manglers (where we believe he belongs).

UPDATE! Check the ever-useful discogs for the tracklisting for the incoming album...let's get excited people!
