Myer U Clark caught songwriting fever aged 8 and the bug hasn’t left since. Hosting his first gigs to his Jack Russell Albie from his idle Devonshire valley village, he chose an English Literature course at university just so he could get better at writing lyrics. He began playing gigs in Bristol, then couldn’t stop booking them, developing a shambling and instinctive performance style that favours absurdism and looseness over slick perfectionism.  

It’s a style that places him more on bills with indie bands than with folk traditionalists.  A member of art-rock quartet The Scuttlers, he’s fresh from tour dates with Naima Bock and Sorry and has featured on bills with rising acts Truthpaste, The Slow Country and Morn.

His debut studio album 'Tinderbox' recalls an eclectic palette of influence stretching from Skip James or Nick Drake, all the way through to Carl Jung, The ET Soundtrack or A.G Cook, which culminated in a frantic 12 hour studio session at The Crypt in Bristol with producer Jack Ogborne (The Cindys, Bingo Fury, The New Eves), where the majority of the record was recorded.

As well as performing live in session with Cerys Matthews on BBC 6 Music, Myer's latest release comes on the heels of early tastemaker backing from the likes of Emily Pilbeam (BBC 6 Music), Flo Dill (NTS), The Line of Best Fit, Loud & Quiet and more.
