Clark - Kiri Variations

Looks like there is a new album coming.

From his Facebook:

"Delighted to announce my new album ‘Kiri Variations’ released 26th July on Throttle Records. It started as score, but grew into something else entirely, hence ‘Variations’. 

The first single, available today, is called 'Cannibal Homecoming'. Listen in to Mary Ann Hobbs on  BBC Radio 6 Music from 10:30AM UK for an exclusive premiere - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00067n5 "

listening to the bbc... it hasn't been plated yet?

Not yet

But it's lunch time now... Can someone please record it?

its gonna play now!

seems like he's gonna sing...

Single is kinda meh - hope the whole album isn't like that.

That's probably just me being french but when I read Kiri I can't help but see CHEESE

I keep reading it as "Kiki" Variations!

Here's a page where you can play the single: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00067n5

Yeah I saw that but that just plays a 20~ second preview of the track for me 

Oh, that's unfortunate

Still look forward to new Clark even though the last...decade hasn't been great. I also got a 20-sec clip for that new single on that link, and yeah there's not much to go on. 

This doesn't exactly sound promising, unfortunately: "It started as score, but grew into something else entirely, hence ‘Variations’."

I think the same thing that happened to Arovane

Ooof, not into the track. Bad vocals, plus a little autotune?! Interestingly, some of the vocals remind me of something you'd find on a  Prefuse 73 album. I like P73, but it's not working for me here. 

I can kind of hear some Clark-ness wanting to come out in the track, but it's not. Kind of like everything on his last 2 albums. It's buried in there, but broken and unable to form.

I came here to say exactly that!

When I see the words Cannibal Homecoming, I'm thinking Totem Crackerjack, Vengeance Drools and Penultimate Persian.

Sounds a little more like Múm to me.

It's a nice and diverse ambient listen, but I think you can feel it's actually music for a TV series. Hope there'll be a proper dancy Clark LP coming soon after that. Did he actually leave Warp or why is he back on his own Throttle imprint?
