Clark is the seventh studio album by British electronic musician Clark (Chris Clark), released on 3 November 2014 by Warp Records. It is his fifth album released under the shortened moniker Clark, following Iradelphic (2012). Clark wrote and recorded the album over a continuous four-month session in an isolated barn near Newton, Lincolnshire, marking the first time he had made an entire album in one location and one sustained creative period.
The album represented a return to dancefloor-oriented material after the more pastoral, acoustic-inflected Iradelphic, with Warp describing it as "more Berghain than Guggenheim". Clark received widespread critical acclaim and a Metacritic score of 83 out of 100, with Pitchfork awarding it Best New Music. It was named the 48th best album of 2014 by Pitchfork and the 13th best by Vice.
