I’m not sure if we’re still officially dwelling in the postmodern age or not. But whatever — it doesn’t really matter what labels and meanings academics want to ascribe to culture, because when an artist like Clarence Clarity bursts out of nowhere with an agenda to grab bits and bobs from all over the place and smoosh them together while in the process inverting all sorts of paradigms, it just makes me happy. No questions asked.
Information at the moment is pretty thin. He’s a London dude with a wonky mouth and a penchant for pop, soul, glitch, Eastern scales, and noisy squalls. His debut EP is called Who Am Eye and is coming out December 2 via Bella Union. Stream the first track right now in the box below.
We can confirm that a full-length record will be out some time in 2015. We can also confirm that Clarity likes to pepper his press releases with missives such as “this checkerboard landscape is an auto-refreshing infinity pool” and “eye write a press release as a youtube commenting parasite,” which suggests he’s an artist truly of this time, whatever it may be.
