Sheer Golden Hooks is the solo debut album from the former lead singer of Los Angeles-based band Shiva Burlesque, who released two critically-acclaimed albums in the late 1980's. Alan Jones of England's Melody Maker called Shiva Burlesque’s music "A trip into startled wonder." Jeffrey Clark has a unique poetic vision, and this collection of recordings from 1991-1995 range from his early, garagey, Scott Walker-style pop sound with plenty of cellos and violins through the somewhat psychedelic guitar-based songs of the mid-period and ending with his later work of prose and stories set to improvised music. With over 50 minutes of quality sounds, Sheer Golden Hooks is a wonderful introduction to a talented artist.
Packaged in a numbered, letterpress printed Discfolio at Independent Project Press with large folding insert.
