Clark employs Radiohead’s Thom Yorke as executive producer and mentor on new album Sus Dog

Listen to ‘Town Crank’ here….

Clark has announced details fo his tenth studio album – and revealed it’s been executive produced and mentored by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.

The first taster from the album – the Suicide-like ‘Town Crank’ – has been shared, together with the news that the LP is scheduled for release on May 26 via his own Throttle Records label.

Thom Yorke, it was also confirmed, sings and plays bass on the album track ‘Medicine’. 

“Chris wrote me to say he’d started singing, looking for feedback/advice or whatever, cuz it was kind of new shark-infested waters for him. I’ve been into what he does for years, and I ended up being a kind of backseat driver as he pieced all the oddness of it together, which was fascinating”, Yorke said.

“I wasn’t surprised to discover he came at singing and words through another door completely, which to me was the most interesting and exciting part. The first thing he sent me was him singing about being stuck between two floors and I was already sold. To me the way he approached it all wasn’t the usual singer songwriter guff thank god; it mirrored the way he approached all his composition and recording, but this time it had a human face. His face.”
