Clarence Clarity debuts ‘Bloodbarf’ video, details ‘NO NOW’ LP
Bella Union release the producer’s debut next year.
Clarence Clarity has unveiled the latest track from his forthcoming debut album, ‘NO NOW’.
‘Bloodbarf’ arrives in the shape of a twisted and distorted video, layered with N’Sync and Justin Timberlake magazine covers that gradually melt into a fucked up haze of glitzy colours. The same goes for the song, beginning like a monster hit from a parallel universe before firmly diving into temptation by self-destructing, basically.
The producer - who isn’t big on details - has for the first time explained the meaning behind his debut album. It’s out 2nd February 2015. on Bella Union.
His statement in full reads:
“The NO NOW is my bubble of clarity. The ongoing wow hovering in stasis, with the blinds down and the world a forgotten dream. This album happened in that non-moment. Your past is what you make of it, and your future’s quite literally set in stone – and are you tired of chasing the present?
This album can be a constant reminder of the infinite flexibility of an absurd universe. You are free if you want to be. And there will be no shame. Don’t worry about leaving your mark – the cosmos couldn’t care less about Mozart or Einstein or Jesus of Nazareth. And even less about you.
But go for broke – when you’re lying on your death bed, looking out into that golden ocean sunset you’ll want something exciting to flash before your eyes – something good before the ultimate NO NOW.
This album is the exorcism of everything I’ve ever learned. Its all left me now – no more human condition left to give. This is the album I’ve had to make. And now I can bow out ungracefully – Creator and destroyer of my own worlds.
The NO NOW will never end, because it never began.”
