What you sayNo-one has reviewed The Weather Clock by July Skies yet.
What we say
What the label says:July Skies is the musical project of Antony Harding from Birmingham UK, assisted by members of the band Epic45 (Antony worked on their 2006 album May Your Heart Be The Map) who have both previously received airplay from the late John Peel and Rob Da Bank of BBC Radio 1 and also by Verity Sharp of BBC Radio 3. Both bands are part of the truly independent UK label collective Make Mine Music, who are heading towards their 50th release in autumn 2008. The Weather Clock is July Skies 4th album and the follow up to their critically acclaimed 2004 album The English Cold. Musically, think The Durutti Column, the sensitivity of 80’s indie bands like The House of Love, the guitar work of Maurice Deebank (Felt) or Robin Gutherie (Cocteau Twins), Harold Budd, or even a modern reference to British Sea Power if they ‘didn’t like rock music’. The Weather Clock’ is inspired by a lost post-war Mid-20thC Britain and a fixation with the design and architecture of the period. The beauty in the newly built regimented housing estates and clipped front gardens….it is the sound of the empty school hall once the summer holidays had commenced....faded branch line summers where steam met diesel.....the sound of the first swallows across the fields on fresh dew drenched mornings in May.....the nothingness of weekday afternoons with the lightness of a breeze through the window and billowing curtains….hearing the distant sound of children playing in fields far from the estate.….the sound of BBC broadcasts closing down and displaying the TV test card for the afternoon whilst the country continued to work, play or learn....this is all the sound of The Weather Clock. |
