New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Austin-based indie pop artist Clark Twain has announced his new single 'Try Too Hard', a serene pop offering off his coming debut album 'Life is Wonderful'. His music is influenced by such artists as Death Cab for Cutie, the Flaming Lips, Ben Kweller, and John Mayer. "I think of songs as little spaces. they are created to be visited: like a room in your house, a nook in your hometown, a store on your favorite street. you know where it is, have an experience with it, and can go back to it to wander around as often as you'd like. I hope these little spaces I'm creating provide some refuge, a place to dance, and maybe even a place to bring a friend and eat tacos," says Clark Twain.
"I wrote 'Try Too Hard' for the people I accidentally hurt in life. I can be stubborn and unintentionally cause harm to those I love and/or work with."

This new track follows up Twain's debut single 'Fly High (Like Richard Branson)', a fun and upbeat track that is infectious with high positivity. The fun, high-flying accompanying video was directed by Vanessa Pla, who also co-produced it with Clark Twain.



Clark Twain is the solo moniker of Clark Nowlin, who began playing guitar at 10, cutting his teeth on Metallica and Nirvana covers with friends in the attic and starting his first band a few years later. He eventually quit his day job to fully immerse himself in the world of music "because the gig money put enough gas in my tank". After touring and recording with Tim Halperin and Marshall Young for a few years and supporting various artists, he amassed recording gear, learned the ropes, and began producing various musical projects.


Clark dedicated a solid 6-month block of time to working on his new material, beginning in January of this year, and splitting time between Elmwood Studios in Dallas, Clark's home studio in Austin, and in Denton, Texas with Brack Cantrell, one of Clark's all-time favorite producers, who also mixed his new material. Mastering was performed by Jon Törnblom.

"If music is to serve any purpose, it's to remind us that we're alive and that we're not alone. For me, making it is a sign that I'm alive. Connecting with it is a sign that this big mysterious journey called life isn't new territory and that whatever situation we're in - someone's already been there and has made it through," says Clark Twain.


"I'm an eternal optimist and truly believe the best is yet to come in our experiences here on Earth. If there's a shred of this hope embodied in this music, I've achieved my goal. I hope that these sounds put a little wind-in-your-sails when needed on a still day."

Clark Twain's 'Try To Hard' will be released on September 21. Already now, you can find his debut single "Fly High (Like Richard Branson)" through online stores and streaming platforms such as Spotify, as well as Bandcamp.
