Lee Clarke

On his latest solo single, “Evaporate,” Lee Clarke teams up with regular collaborator Kingsley Ibeneche, as well as local rap luminary Ivy Sole, two of the most exciting Philadelphia-area artists. A choir of resampled scrawling vocals circulates like smoke in and out of Kingsley Ibeneche’s gently spinning lyrics. Small snappy percussion pops in the stereo field like brief lightning until piano chords bring a downward turn, settling to dust. Ivy Sole’s entry hits like a storm, matched by warbled 808 subwoofer pressure. The song closes elegiacally, with reverence: hopeful, reaching. astronautico.bandcamp.com
