Clarissa Connelly announces her Warp Records debut, World of Work
Copenhagen-based producer, composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Clarissa Connelly has announced her Warp Records debut, World of Work alongside new single, “An Embroidery".
"An Embroidery was one of the first songs I wrote for World of Work. It truly is about gathering all the threads and making an embroidery; making an album," Connelly explains.
The title itself is plucked from Bataille's L'érotisme, "Man has come to know the exterior world [of work], but he remains ignorant of his own nature. [Yet] if he had not first awoken to awareness through work, he would know nothing at all." Connelly notes the two main ‘characters’ of the album are Work and Desire, where Work reflects the profane, the quotidien, mundanity, and Desire exists as exaltation, the body pushed to physical limits, art, ecstasy. The two exist simultaneously, giving us the human experience. Clarissa equates the idea of a “world of work” with succumbing to the brute force of the world in the face of trauma, rather than seeking empowerment.
