IMOGEN CLARK
For fans of: Maggie Rogers, HAIM
“4.5/5 stars. This EP will become a landmark.”
Imogen Clark is an AIR Award nominated indie artist from Western Sydney, whose songs range from the intimate to the arena ready, melodic anthems with the soul of a confessional singer-songwriter.
Only in her mid-20s, Imogen has already attracted studio collaborators from Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith, indie stars Alex Lahey, Middle Kids and Adam Newling to rock legends Colin Hay (Men at Work) and Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), drawn to her bracing honest and unforgettable song-craft.
An artist who has always been compelled to create and connect with her audience, even at the nadir of the pandemic, 2022 has been a busy year even for her.
Barrelling into the year by collaborating with Mo’Ju, Ali Barter, I Know Leopard and more on her 2nd Annual Holiday Hootenanny show in Melbourne, she followed that up with her epic 100 Shows in 100 Days tour. Criss-crossing metro and regional Australia several times, mixing headline shows, supports, pop-ups and live-stream gigs, the tour powered through obstacles including visa issues, a COVID-induced week off, flooding and more to wrap up triumphantly in Adelaide the night before the AIR Awards, where Imogen was nominated for Best Pop Album/EP for her 2021 release ‘Bastards’. She also found time to release her cathartic single ‘Nonchalant’, described by Atwood magazine as “a searing, soaring anthem full of fire and fervor”.
“Imogen Clark may not have tailored her record to this era but her vibrant, bracing songs – kind of like a dip in a cold September sea – might just be one of the things to carry us through it.”
Cutting her teeth playing in Western Sydney bars during her teen years before touring and recording around the world, from the US to Europe to the UK, Imogen brings the depth and confidence of a seasoned superstar to the stage despite her youth. Taking inspiration from legends like Bruce Springsteen and Joni Mitchell as much as contemporary heroes Maggie Rogers and HAIM, Imogen’s music continues to dissolve the barriers between her emotions and her audience, even as her music and shows get bigger in size and scope.
2023 is set to be the biggest year of Imogen’s career to date, with a new record on the horizon featuring collaborations with producer Xavier Dunn (Jack River, Molly Millington), Frenzal Rhomb’s Lindsay McDougall and more, plus a return to international touring beginning with the US and UK.
