Product Description

RELEASE DATE: 22ND MARCH 2024

This new body of work signals a brave new world for Clark’s ever-expanding creative palette. The new music is dense and
adventurous with a more cohesive synthesis of his eclectic musical universe. His samples, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Boy
Williamson, decorate flourishes of African, World Music, and even Jazz while merging with rock, R&B, hip-hop and blues;
familiar areas he has ventured before, this time with more unity forging a fresh new style.
Clark’s lyrics are pointed, deeply personal, outspoken and socially conscious with occasional forays into rap and spoken word
from Clark himself. The sonics are immersive, verging on modern groove-oriented psychedelia with hip-hop driven beats in
verses giving way to anthemic choruses, rich with power-chording and wide fuzz riffage.
JPEG RAW is Clark's first album since 2019’s critically lauded This Land, which became his third consecutive top 10 on the
Billboard 200 chart and garnered three Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance (“This Land”)
and Best Contemporary Blues Album (This Land). Clark’s first Grammy win was awarded in 2014 for Best Traditional R&B
Performance (“Please Come Home”).
