Lichen is the recording project of South London-based songwriter Michael Clark. Languid on the surface yet masterfully structured beneath, Lichen's music balances delicate textures with emotional weight. There's a heady marriage between this cultivated formal control and the intensity of Clark's lyrical world, one that has evolved quietly but deliberately over the past decade. Produced by Ted Barnes (Beth Orton, Clayhill) and mixed and mastered by Sean Read (Edwyn Collins, Dexys, Soulsavers), the record brings together a full ensemble to deliver Clark's most expansive and emotionally complex work to date. Across ten tracks, he explores death, memory, and spiritual survival through elemental imagery - bones, water, stone, fire - all filtered through a dreamlike sense of displacement and grace.
