2009 has, in short, been quite lame. Most albums I've heard haven't really left any lasting impression on me. Some have been listened to constantly for a week and others for a couple days. Clark's newest offering "Totems Flare" is still somewhat new for me, so it's too early to tell if it will suffer the same fate as the others. As of right now it's one of my favorites of this lame year. Clark has been around since the beginning of the decade and has to date released five albums. His music makes use of complex drumbeats and lots and lots of distortion. Depending on your mood, these distortion drenched songs can sometimes be unlistenable. That would be my only gripe with Clark, that he can't just tone it down a bit to make for an easier listen. Be that as it may "Totems Flare" is still worth checking out, especially for my favorite track, "Future Daniel." It's definitely a contender for song of the year (not that it has much competition):

Well it's a good tune, and you're right that it's been a pretty dull year thus far. But still, THIS is the best song of the year IMHO:
