There's a deftness of touch to Michael Clark's work that is absolutely stunning.
Hushed folk-hewn songwriting, the Falmouth talent crafts sparse but hopelessly intoxicating acoustic nuggets.
With an EP due to land in January, Michael Clark has confirmed a handful of dates, including an all-too-rare London visit.
New song 'End Is Near' soundtracks this leg of his journey, and it's a delicate but inspired offering, sharply poetic in its lyricism.
Oddly minimalist, it comes backed with some incredible visuals, a deft clip that really sucks you in.
Rachael Olga Lloyd directed the clip, and she comments:
"When I first heard the song, it made me think about the different paths we choose in life, the idea of just surviving life but not really living. The characters inspired by tribal masks were ones I’d already designed in some doodles in my sketchbook. I thought the look would really work with the natural earthy feel I wanted for the video. I wanted to use as many natural materials as possible as well. I used natural linen, sheep's wool and wood for the puppets and spent many weekends foraging in parks and fields for plants and foliage.”
Tune in now.
