One week in late 2001, due to a lack of guitar skills and the absence of his usual songwriting partner and guitarist, a 14 year old Zac Clark recorded 7 extremely lo-fi demos in his basement and for the first time, added piano. Several friends heard the demos and soon people were requesting cds; an EP was made of the 2001 material and self-released in the spring of 2002. Buzz in the Burlington, VT area grew as Zac was chosen as a finalist in the 99.9 The Buzz Battle of the Bands, and soon a band formed, named Perfect Disaster, after the EP of the same name. A successful year of shows and demos followed, but eventually, it was time for the 4 members to move on to their own separate projects. It was then that 17 year old vocalist/pianist Zac Clark decided it was time to start work on some new material. Over a year and many demos later, the album has been completed. Produced by Zac Clark and Joe Egan at Egan Media Productions in Colchester, Faking Amnesia will see its release on June 7th, 2005.

He's not faking...

Zac can do no wrong in my eyes. This album shows his true talent for lyrics writing for one. This is where it all began, and yes, his songwriting skills have grown since the release of this album, but this was definitely a good place to start. He screams charisma and bleeds talent from his fingertips. His harmonic sensibility is uncanny and he can shape a melody like no other.
Mr. Clark is definitely going far, and I am so glad I get to go along for the ride. Listen to Any Port in Storm, Options, Everything Else is Sewn Up Too Tight. Amazing. The Way it Sounds When No One's Listening is probably the most incredible track, and I never tire of hearing any of this album. Check out his EP too, you are in for ear pleasing enjoyment.

Vibrant, mature effort with provocative lyrics and completely hummable tunes!
author: Brent Hallenbeck
This is something else pretty unique for a local release- a top-flight pop-rock piano player, and a young one to boot. Zac Clark is an 18-year-old who just graduated from Essex High School, and "Faking Amnesia" is a vibrant, mature effort with provocative lyrics ("I keep this roman candle burning/Both ends dipped in gasoline/Because I'm all about routine") and completely hummable tunes. He mines songwriting territory similar to that of Hyde Park native Gregory Douglass, but comparisons to a less cheeky version of Ben Folds might be more apt.
