Clock Opera - Belongings

‘Wonderfully orchestrated aural soundscapes’ - Dazed & Confused

‘Uplifting and assured’ - Artrocker

'Crowd rousing rhythms and tightly wound emotive falsetto' - Metro

‘Portentous, berserk and brilliant’ - Sunday Times Culture

‘One of London’s most creatively coherent new bands’ - Time Out

Clock Opera will release their new single, ‘Belongings’ on 9th May. Produced by front man Guy Connelly and already a highlight of their live set, it’s an incredibly beautiful and emotive song. Calling to mind the likes of Steve Reich, pianos dapple Guy’s dulcet voice, building to a euphoric crescendo before opening out into a cinematic vista of big sound and glorious harmonies. The B side is the understated brooding and delicate ‘Let Go The Lifeboats’.

‘Belongings’ is undoubtedly Clock Opera’s strongest single to date and with their recent signing to Moshi Moshi, a fast growing reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting live acts, and their debut album expected in the autumn, 2011 is looking like a great year for the band.

Clock Opera has been steadily building a reputation as purveyors of cerebral, original and utterly captivating music over the last year. Their first limited edition single ‘White Noise’ is now a rarity and the two released last year (‘A Piece Of String’ and ‘Once and For All’) were both lauded both across the blogosphere and in the heavyweight music press and broadsheets.

They have supported the likes of Yeasayer, Au Revoir Simone and Everything Everything on their UK tours and have also delivered inspired remixes for the above artists as well as reinterpretations for The Drums, The Golden Filter and Tracey Thorn (released on 16th April 2011), earning themselves a reputation as one of the most innovative and original remix outfits around.
