Standard Edition Double LP in a 6-Panel Gatefold Sleeve with Obi Strip

This is the standard double-vinyl edition of Death Peak, Warp catalog number WARPLP282: two LPs in a six-panel gatefold sleeve with black inner sleeves, an obi strip around the cover and a download code. Nine tracks are spread across four sides, which gives the nine-minute closing suite "Un U.K." side D to itself. Clark mastered the record himself, with additional mastering by Joel Krozer and Naweed Ahmed. The cover is a crumpled photograph of Clark by Alma Haser, designed by Dominic Flannigan.

Death Peak is Clark's eighth studio album, released on Warp on 7 April 2017 and announced that February alongside the lead single "Peak Magnetic." It followed his first major scoring job, the soundtrack to the television series The Last Panthers. It was also his last original studio album for Warp before he moved to his own Throttle Records and then to Deutsche Grammophon.

Five of the nine tracks carry voices. The Barnby Road Academy Chamber Choir, led by Lizzie Greeley, sings on "Spring But Dark," "Catastrophe Anthem" and "Un U.K.," and Yamila Ríos sings on "Aftermath" and "Living Fantasy." Clark worked across digital and analog gear, pairing a Korg Kronos synthesizer with a vintage Nagra tape machine. "Un U.K." was written in four days in Melbourne during the Brexit period. Its climax layers 35 time-stretched EDM tracks run through guitar pedals with field recordings of wasps tuned to a diatonic scale.

The album reached No. 11 on the UK Dance Albums Chart and No. 20 on the UK Independent Albums Chart, and holds a Metacritic score of 78 from 13 reviews. Clash ranked it 33rd among the albums of 2017. On tour it became Death Peak Live, built with choreographer Melanie Lane to set Clark's performances alongside contemporary dance. The show ran from 2017 to 2019, with stops at Sónar, Dekmantel and Pukkelpop.
