The concept behind ‘Distant World’, the recent album by Hawkins Clarke is set against the backdrop of UFO sightings in mid-20th-century America, it explores the life of a man who has been profoundly impacted by his early encounter with UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). This experience shapes his entire life, leading to struggles with addiction, self-doubt, and failed relationships.
The album takes us on a journey through the man’s later years, where his deep-rooted fears are reignited by new UFO sightings. These entities seek him out and offer him a chance to leave Earth, to escape his troubled past and start anew on a distant world. The man, now in his fifties or sixties, faces a momentous decision: stay on Earth, where he’s familiar with his inner turmoil, or venture into the unknown, where he might find peace but still face a profound sense of isolation.
The album’s concept, as imagined by Gary Hawkins (DJ Shed 74) and Leo Clarke (Mofonk), promises to deliver a rich soundscape that not only tells this fascinating story but also delves into themes of identity, love, and transformation. With all tracks already written and performed by Hawkins and Clarke from the Melomaniac Collective, “Distant World” is set to be a unique and thought-provoking experience, blending a compelling narrative with evocative music. The album genre is varied …. synth pop/classical/Techno/drum & bass/ambient.
