Clark reworks his score for Naqqash Khalid's award winning debut feature flm 'In Camera' into a mesmerising, brilliant and varied album
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 fts 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 flm - like an extension of the flm's atmosphere and interiority -it became so intertwined with my experience and memory of IN CAMERA - it's difcult 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 flm"
Clark says "I was going to just include the cues from the flm, but got far too into recording new stuff that ftted the tone and emotion of the flm. Favourite tracks: Tangent Cloak, Bleeding Building and Sensual Dismay. Little peaches that popped out in one breezy take. It's got a really specifc, 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 flm 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.
