Anne Clark - Our Darkness Sleeper In Metropolis Self Destruct

Review by Gianluca Fiorelli

Our Darkness Sleeper In Metropolis Self Destruct: A Synth-Pop Time Capsule from 1988 Let’s get one thing straight—Anne Clark doesn’t mess around. This album, Our Darkness Sleeper In Metropolis Self Destruct, is like stepping into a neon-lit labyrinth where every corner hums with raw emotion and pulsating synths. Released in '88 via Ink Records (shoutout to the UK and France for letting this gem loose), it’s an electronic masterpiece that still feels ahead of its time. And yeah, David Harrow on the music? Pure wizardry. Now, let me zoom in on two tracks that’ll stick to your brain like gum under a club chair: “Sleeper In Metropolis” and “Self Destruct.” “Sleeper In Metropolis” hits you right off the bat—it’s moody but not overdramatic, like Anne just grabbed the mic after staring out a rain-soaked window at 3 AM. The beat has this hypnotic shuffle, almost mechanical yet deeply human, while her voice weaves through the chaos like smoke curling up from a cigarette left burning in an ashtray. It’s haunting without trying too hard, y’know? You can practically see the flickering streetlights reflecting off wet pavement as she sings. I remember this track because it’s got layers—you think you’ve figured it out, then BAM, another detail jumps out. Like noticing a crack in the wall only when the light hits it just right. Then there’s “Self Destruct,” which slaps harder than most songs even attempt to. If “Sleeper” is introspective midnight vibes, this one’s the morning-after panic attack. Anne’s lyrics cut deep here; they’re sharp, unapologetic, and kinda make you wanna scream along. The bassline throbs like a heartbeat racing toward oblivion, and her delivery? Chills. She sounds pissed, tired, maybe both—all wrapped up in this defiant package that makes you wanna smash something beautiful. Honestly, if dystopian cities had theme songs, this would be it. What sticks with me about these tracks isn’t just how catchy or atmospheric they are—it’s how real they feel. Anne doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Her words hit like a punch to the gut, and David’s production wraps them in this sleek, otherworldly shell. Together, they create something that’s equal parts dancefloor fuel and existential crisis. Looking back, this album feels like a secret handshake between people who get it. It wasn’t trying to fit into any box—it was the box everyone else wanted to open. And weirdly enough, listening to it now feels like finding an old mixtape tucked inside a jacket pocket. You press play, expecting nostalgia, but instead, you find yourself hearing things you missed the first time around. So here’s the kicker: What if Anne Clark knew all along that we’d still be talking about this record decades later? Or maybe she didn’t care either way. Either possibility feels just right.

"I want to do poetry... but not some lame-ass poetry. I want some lazer beam weilding jazz techno industrial post punk kind of poetry. Yeah that will do" - Anne Clark
