Additional InformationAnnie Clark's fifth album weaponizes pop's trappings, transforming them into sad, witty songs about desire and destruction.
Reviews"Clark’s wickedly sharp, vulnerable dissections of sex and loneliness, intimacy and power, feel more necessary than ever.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It is the most direct Clark has ever been with her lyricism, savagely cutting to the core of her feelings and her own mythology.", "There’s no other contemporary artist applying such a chameleonic affect to the standard myth of singer with a guitar....Clark has carved out a space as a guitar hero in an era where that sort of thing is supposed to be over.", "Masseduction Is a Revelation in Terms of Its Raw and Sometimes Brutal Emotional Honesty.", "Clark’s most personal work; a reflection on lost love that gave an already multi-dimensional work even greater layers of import and meaning.", "The Texas native has digitalised her sound substantially, gravitating toward a caustic brand of electro-rock that’s lent itself perfectly to her outlandish latex outfits and erratic on-stage antics.", "A sleek piece of neon-pop machinery with a riot-girl heart, MASSEDUCTION felt like the fitting sonic vessel for a singularly disorienting year.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Perhaps the closest to home of all is ‘Happy Birthday, Johnny’: pedal steel, delicate piano and heart’s blood, and the memory of “you’ve changed” recriminations from loved ones. ‘Smoking Section’ ends on a dark night of the soul...", "On MASSEDUCTION, Clark remains as unpredictable as ever, though there’s one thing fans will have gotten right: so far, at least, Annie Clark has proven incapable of writing anything less than a knockout pop song."
