“For Something Greater” is a digital concept album that takes place in a time where citizens are oblivious to the living standards forced upon them. Antihero, Clark, sets out to expose the inner-workings of "world-controlling" industries in hopes of sabotaging the status-quo. By day, he operates in unison with the public. At night, he's something greater. But as Clark's actions become more renowned, he's unsure if he'll see the smoke clear.

FSG offers a cinematic feel to listeners while intertwining Clark’s, overall, ideology in addition to his real-life events. From start to finish, it keeps listeners engaged with upbeat tempos and beats that demand attention. Each song has an individual meaning but each, at some point, touch on social issues we come across in society.



Clark finished writing the album in February 2016 after starting in September 2015. Clark enlisted the expertise of Curtis Lee of Wolverhampton, UK (better known as CRTMUSIC) to collaborate on the majority of the instrumentation on “For Something Greater.” The recording process was completed in 3 days with help from Andrew Brown, a prospective radio personality in New York City. Clark then hired several actors to voice the characters heard on the album to finish the scene fields between songs. But what solidifies the album, even more, is the quality. The mixing and mastering was handled beautifully by International Show at S.O.E Complex, one of Massachusetts’s finest music establishments. As for the artwork, Jack Davies aka jackdarton illustrated a masterpiece which draws unsuspecting eyes to the project.

In 2020, Clark revisited this album to enhance the listener experience. Previously, the audio scenes were embedded in some of the songs and now the remastered version separates the audio scenes from the records allowing listeners to repeat songs uninterrupted.
