In My Dreams You Were GoldenLichen12 AlbumGenre: RockDescription: 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.
