It was released on 2 March 2015 on the Bella Union label.[1] BackgroundClarity had gained notability among the music community for his previous releases, 2013's Save †hyself EP and 2014's Who Am Eye EP, both of which featured tracks that reappeared on No Now.[2][3] No Now was Clarity's first full-length album under the Clarence Clarity name. In an interview with DIY Magazine he stated that "I just wanted to make it the biggest, boldest statement that I could possibly make."[4] He claimed that the LP took years to create and that his previous EPs were "bitesize [sic] clarity".[5]Clarity expressed in the press release for the album that the album was his "bubble of clarity", and that it was "the exorcism of everything I’ve ever learned. It’s all left me now – no more human condition left to give. This is the album I’ve had to make. And now I can bow out ungracefully – Creator and destroyer of my own worlds."[1] Track Listing{{Track listing| all_writing = Clarence Clarity | title1 = Become Death | length1 = 0:58 | title2 = Will To Believe | length2 = 4:10 | title3 = Alive In The Septic Tank | length3 = 3:14 | title4 = Buck-Toothed Particle Smashers (feat.

Prince is one touchstone, both for his larger-than-life persona and his willingness", calling No Now a "rollercoaster of an album".[10] DIY Magazine gave it 4 stars, claiming Clarence is "currently without an equal" and describing his music as polarizing.[11]Notes1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://mushroompromotions.com/bios/album-bio-clarence-clarity-no-now-pias-out-monday-2-march-2015/|title=ALBUM BIO: Clarence Clarity - NO NOW [Bella Union] (Out Monday, 2 March 2015)|date=2015-02-08|website=Mushroom Promotions|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-10}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://inverted-audio.com/review/clarence-clarity-save-thyself/|title=Clarence Clarity: Save Thyself|last=Harding|first=Jehan|website=Inverted Audio|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-02-10}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/reviews-various-artists-15847|title=Clarence Clarity - 'Who Am Eye' EP|last=Daly|first=Rhian|website=NME|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-10}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://diymag.com/2015/03/06/clarence-clarity-i-drove-myself-mad-making-this-album|title=Clarence Clarity: "I drove myself mad making this album"|last=Subscribe|website=DIY|language=en|access-date=2019-02-10}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.speakertv.com/news/clarence-clarity-on-extraterrestrial-life-bella-union-and-his-new-album-no-now/|title=Clarence Clarity On Extraterrestrial Life, Bella Union and His New Album 'No Now'|website=speakertv|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-10}} 6. ^Whilst this track sounds like pure silence, it actually consists of an extremely quite voice reciting "kill", therefore making it a standalone track. 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/clarenceclarity/status/905950880318545920?lang=en|title=Clarence Clarity on Twitter|website=Twitter|language=en|access-date=2018-04-13}} 8. ^It is unknown if these tracks were actually released alongside the album in Japan, even to the album's creator, Clarence Clarity.
