This week's PBS Feature Album is 'Sus Dog', the tenth studio album by Clark. Released on his own burgeoning label Throttle Records, the record was mentored and executive produced by Thom Yorke (Radiohead), who sings and plays bass on the track ‘Medicine’.

Purveying a sort of skewed-psychedelic-hardcore-dream-pop-brilliance, prior to beginning Clark “kept on thinking ‘what would it sound like if The Beach Boys took M**A and made a rave record?”. This early seed grew into something epic – abundant with aural and poetic depth, clues, inferences and in-jokes.

Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Sus Dog, and check out this week's full list of PBS Feature Sounds on our website: bsfm.org.au/news/clark-sus-dog

Sus Dog is really an album about trust. I’ve only realised since re-singing these versions of Town Crank everyday what I’ve been tapping into. The idea of "I don’t need to know what you mean". It’s a sparse phrase, scratching at themes embedded in other lyrics throughout the album. Trust, surrender, letting go.

Sus Dog is about unknowing, non defensiveness, beginner's mind. Discovery. The idea of being telepathic is seductive but abit dangerous. It’s all contingent, we're animals with minds more like morphIng vapour than anything solid. Constantly becoming / changing. Sus Dog is a dedication to the love of that process. I’ve written a bunch of love songs, ha never thought I'd say that.

Gajek is announced for AVANT Festival Italy.

Gajek è un master in arti visive, e si avvicina all’universo della musica elettronica solo nell’ultimo decennio, giacché Clark (Warp Records) ha ascoltato alcuni brani inediti e deciso di farli ascoltare anche ai MODESELEKTOR (OFFICIAL SITE). Il duo tedesco, ben addentrato nel panorama internazionale elettronico contemporaneo e sperimentale, decide di prenderlo sotto la loro ala. Da qui, il via ad una carriera artistica che si articola in quattro album diversi - di cui il primo remixato da Plaid e alva noto - ma contraddistinti da ispirazioni avant-folk, kraut, simbolismo sonoro bouba/kiki, e vivide atmosfere digitali e infestanti interventi lirici. Gajek è un “prodotto” del biohacking socialista, al quale, da appena nato, venivano inesatte dosi di Vitamina D ad alto dosaggio, pratica standard della Germania dell’Est fino alla caduta del muro di Berlino; figlio di attivisti politici, vivendo la rivoluzione poco prima di iniziare la scuola. Non è un caso che, una volta al mese, rilascia un podcast su Resonance 104.4fm di nome ‘Socialist Realness’. Il suo live chitarra, voce ed elettronica sarà emotivo, romantico, inquietante e fluttuante.

Gajek is a visual arts master, and has only gotten closer into the world of electronic music in the last decade, since Chris Clark (Warp Records) heard some unreleased tracks and decided to let Modeselektor grab them. The German duo, well aware of the international contemporary and experimental electronic panorama, decided to take him under their wing. Hence, the start of his artistic career; articulated in four different albums - its first remixed by Plaid and Alva Noto - similar for their avant-folk and kraut inspirations, bouba/kiki sound symbolism, vivid digital atmospheres and haunting lyrical interventions. Gajek is a 'product' of socialist biohacking, who, as a child, was given high doses of high-dose Vitamin D, a standard practice in East Germany until the fall of the Berlin Wall. Son of political activists, he experienced the revolution just before starting school and it is no coincidence that, once a month, he releases a podcast on Resonance FM called 'Socialist Realness'. He plays guitar, vocals and electronics, the show is emotive, romantic, eerie and fluctuating.
