Biography
London based artist Michael Clark (son of Gavin Clark) is the creative force and voice behind the band Lichen. Michael is an emerging talent who’s music is profoundly moving. Michael's solo track "Light In the Firing Line” has already been used last year’s Shane Meadows show Gallow's Pole while Michael was unsigned and unpublished.
Lichen's style is languid on the surface, yet masterful and refined in their structures and arrangements. There is a heady marriage between the cultivated formula and the intensity of the themes, the subject matter, and the lyrical dispositions that Michael has crafted over the years. Taken as one, Lichen offer a meditation on the lines between the past, the present, and the eternal that persist with the landscape of everyday. The resulting content is powerful and sincere, with the robust candour that is bought to new heights by the full assemble.
The Line of Best Fit discovered his music and dubbed it 'a veritable treasure trove of undiscovered sad bastard alternative'.
