The third preview from Clark’s Iradelphic album reinforces the point that this may be his most diverse album yet. ‘The Pining Pt. 2’ gave us an electronic clatter with a harpischord at its centrepiece and the arpegiatted ’70s TV soundtrack sounding ‘Com Touch’ . ‘Secret’ meanwhile, flips it up again and goes for twisted brittle guitar-led ambiance featuring the vocal talents of Martina Topley-Bird (who is getting back to do some show with Tricky this year). Iradelphic is out on April 2nd on Warp.
