If you’ve been frequenting this site for the better part of the past two years, you’ve come across a couple of posts about Mojave Desert-based filmmaker and classically trained pianist, turned electronic music producer and artist Elizabeth Ann Clark and her solo recording project VIRGO. And with Clark’s earliest releases, her sound had been compared to the likes for renowned indie electronic artists such as Grimes, Little Dragon, CHVRCHES and others; however, over the past year or so, Clark has gently expanded on the sound that first caught my attention and the attention of the rest of the blogosphere.
“Disappear,” Clark’s latest single pairs Clark’s breathy and sultry coos with a chilly and moody production that pairs stuttering yet propulsive drum programming with glistening synths, ominously swirling electronics to craft an ambient song that subtly sounds as though it were indebted to Snap!‘s “Rhythm Is A Dancer” and Kraftwerk‘s Trans Europe Express — but with an equally subtle carnal need just underneath the surface.
The recently released video is a gorgeously shot video that features Clark on the beach at sunset with the waves lapping at the shore but the video employs a dream-like logic as it features equally gorgeous sequences of Clark underwater.
