Where Neon Goes To Die

Living in a city is like having a love affair, and like any love affair, the passion for a city can produce monumental music. On Steven A. Clark’s second LP, Where Neon Goes to Die, the North Carolina-born singer-songwriter follows in the footsteps of artists like Fleetwood Mac and OutKast by painting a fascinating portrait of the place he calls home–in his case Miami.

The album was created alongside the German DJ/producer Boys Noize, who Clark met backstage at a Miami club gig, where the two fell into a deep conversation about mutual influences that quickly became a full blown collaboration.

Miami’s where Clark’s lifelong love of music became a full-time gig, and it also happens to be an enormous playground filled with temptations for a budding young artist. Fittingly, Where Neon Goes to Die explores a complex relationship full of highs and lows. From sultry pop to heart aching ballads, the album retells Clark’s travels through the city’s nocturnal fantasy land through hooky, R&B-infused synth pop that (maybe ironically) could fill the floors at the same clubs he’s singing about.
