Anne Clark and band

Anne Clark (born Croydon, London, England, 14 May 1960) is an English poet and songwriter. Clark is mainly a spoken word artist, but she also plays piano and occasionally accompanies herself, with piano and voice mixing in a somewhat atypical new wave style. Many of her lyrics deal critically with the imperfections of humanity, everyday life, and politics. Especially in her early works she has created a gloomy, melancholy kind of atmosphere bordering on weltschmerz. In 1985, Clark released the album Pressure Points. It was created in cooperation with John Foxx, who had founded Ultravox. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Clark)
