OTHERWISE known as a founding member of Glasgow indie-pop group Astrid, Scottish singer-songwriter Charlie Clark is back with news of a solo album and a brand new track called ‘Don’t Have A Cow, Man!’
After finding a new lease of life in LA, Clark has returned home to share some of his most personal material to date and this new single is a first glimpse into what’s to come from that new direction.
Written at a crossroads in his life, at a time when he was tackling a growing addiction problem and torn between life in the US and Scotland, the track finds him facing down some long-standing personal issues and tackling his demons.
Using this cathartic experience to return to his roots, ‘Don’t Have A Cow, Man!’ finds joy in music, referencing the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian and Big Star in its sunny jangle-pop melodies and underlying melancholy.
Clark’s solo album ‘Late Night Drinking’ will be released later this year through Alan McGee’s latest label venture ‘It’s Creation Baby’.
