CLARK - IN CAMERA

Released: 13/09/24

Containing smoky, timeless synth instrumentals like 'Running Dreams', a
bittersweet cover of Carpenters / Sonic Youth classic 'Superstar' and an epic,
rising builder 'Green Breaking', it's a deeply rewarding listen that fits perfectly into
the canon of Clark soundtracks.
 
Director Naqqash says "This soundtrack and body of work Clark has invented
feels like another character in the film - like an extension of the film’s atmosphere
and interiority - it became so intertwined with my experience and memory of IN
CAMERA - it's difficult to pinpoint where it begins and ends. And for that I feel
deeply privileged to have had this collaboration with him... Clark is an essential
player in this film."
 
Clark says "I was going to just include the cues from the film, but got far too into
recording new stuff that fitted the tone and emotion of the film. Favourite tracks:
Tangent Cloak, Bleeding Building and Sensual Dismay. Little peaches that popped
out in one breezy take. It's got a really specific, colour/ tone this record. It's
drenched in muted joy/ dark euphoria. It sounds like Sensual Dismay but can't
really call it that, it's the soundtrack for a film called In Camera"
 
Full of pointed notes about an industry rife with prejudice and hypocrisy, In
Camera deploys elements of surrealism and fantasy to trace how its young
British-Asian protagonist's sense of self is affected by the tokenism of a world he
hopes to conquer. Candid and acidly funny, with an unsettling eye for the warped
and bizarre, it's a playful, stylish satire not just of showbiz but also the myriad
absurdities of modern life, with a complex, supple central performance from
rising star Nabhaan Rizwan.
