Overview


After his first solo tour of Argentina in 1982, García began a new project with his manager Daniel Grinbank. García went to New York to record his next album, with Pedro Aznar, who was living there while playing in the Pat Metheny band. The black silhouette figure on the cover photo for the album is by Conceptual Artist Richard Hambleton who is known as the Shadowman.[1][2]


Composition


The album has a strong new wave influence, with a significant use of synthesizers and samplers.[3]

The album used a Roland TR-808 drum machine instead of a human drummer, resulting in a more poppy and rhythm-heavy sound than in García's previous work.[4]

Clics modernos was released on November 5, 1983 on Interdisc and SG Discos.

García presented the album between December 15 and 18, 1983 at the Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires.[3] The concerts featured keyboardist Fito Páez, backing vocalist Fabiana Cantilo, drummer Willy Iturri, bassist Alfredo Toth, guitarist Pablo Guyot and saxophonists Gonzalo Palacios and Daniel Melingo.[5] The performance was acclaimed by specialized magazine Pelo, describing it as "captivating" and considering it one of the greatest shows of the year.[5]

Songs such as "Plateado sobre plateado (huellas en el mar)" were debuted live in early 1983 during a series of concerts at the Estadio Obras Sanitarias.[6]


Reception


In 2008, Rolling Stone Argentina stated that "for many, [it is] Charly's best album, a record that found him on a superlative level".[7]

Clics Modernos es el segundo álbum de estudio del cantante argentino Charly García, publicado el 5 de noviembre de 1983 por la compañía SG Discos. Se trata de un álbum del género new wave, con la participación de Pedro Aznar, con quien ya había trabajado en conjunto en Serú Girán, así como con el ingeniero de sonido Joe Blaney. Considerado el mejor trabajo de su carrera, incluye referencias a la dictadura cívico-militar argentina que se vivió hasta poco después del lanzamiento del álbum y su lírica también está caracterizada por su tono sarcástico y humorístico. Fue un trabajo decisivo para consolidar las tendencias modernas que marcarían el perfil del rock argentino durante la década de 1980. El título del álbum proviene del arte de la portada del disco.
