A stunning standalone work in its own right, MassEducation is another dimension of last year’s universally acclaimed MASSEDUCTION. Recorded live in the studio over two nights in August 2017 while mixing MASSEDUCTION, MassEducation lays bare the exquisite songcraft of its other half.
Performed entirely by Annie Clark on vocals and Thomas Bartlett on piano, the new album renders songs like “Young Lover” and “Fear The Future” and their subjects in vivid, vulnerable new light. Clark herself describes the album as “two dear friends playing songs together with the kind of secret understanding one can only get through endless nights in New York City.”
A live video of the new album’s arrangement of ‘Savior’ is released to coincide with the new record. Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and mixed by Adam Jackson, the clip features Clark and Bartlett in an intimate and arresting performance shot live at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles.
The duo of Clark and Bartlett will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live this Tuesday 16th October, playing a selection of MassEducation material as part of the show’s annual Brooklyn week event.
