Artist: Clock Opera

Before starting his new solo project under the Tourist moniker, Brighton-based producer Will Phillips had already made a name for himself as Little Loud with his remixes of HEALTH , Yeasayer , Clock Opera , Goldfrapp or Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Clock Opera - Once & For All (Little Loud Remix) This time around Phillips goes for a mostly instrumental blend of synth driven chillwave, somewhat reminiscent of Washed Out or Memory Tapes . With crisp beats and almost psychedelic melodies, his 4-track debut Placid Acid bridges [...]

• Clock Opera - Once & For All (Little Loud Remix)

The London, 4-piece, Clock Opera are set to release their debut album 'Ways To Forget' on April 9th, on Moshi Moshi /Island Records. Their sound is a more of the relaxing avant, indie pop variety and it may have been mis-labeled as "Pop-Chop". I hear hints of Keane and Elbow as lead man, Guy Connelly excels in his vocals and then as the rest of the music melodies flow there are hints of Panda Bear and Animal Collective. Clock Opera have been around a few years releasing singles and various videos but they haven't [...]

Clock Opera - Making Of: Belongings Ways To Forget is out on April 9th.

After some great visuals for their even better tracks, Clock Opera have just announced that they will release their stunning debut album, Ways To Forget, on 9th April, 2012 via Moshi Moshi / Island Records. The Four Piece have created what is sure to be a stunning debut using tonnes of weird and wonderful objects and unexpected instruments creating a wall of elegance and depth. Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on it. In support of the release the band will also embark upon their first ever headline tour [...]

clock opera - once and for all [oh boy... for those who know the wongie favored style of music, will know instantly that this track is just pure aural gold. building melodies leading to a soaring chorus of pain and heartbreak with the instrumentation to back the drama; THIS is heaven! throw in the fact that this london quartet strip down sounds only to bring them back together in loops and harmony makes them an interesting live act to chase down for 2012. i'm buzzing yo!] [...]

As Guy Connelly and the rest of Clock Opera 's debut album nears (it's due in spring), an advance single, Once And For All , comes out tomorrow. It's more straightforwardly indie than some of their fare, and feels full of fondness, nostalgia and optimism; of hard-learned lessons and euphoric new beginnings. This being Clock Opera, it's backed by a superb, moving video: Click here to view the embedded video.

Australian indie pop five-piece Architecure in Helsinki have just released a digital only deluxe edition of their last album, Moment Bends , including remixes from the likes of Nicolas Jaar, Lo-Fi Fnk , Javelin , Yacht , Frames and Clock Opera .

See what you make of his electronic remix below and get excited for Clock Opera's debut LP. I for one cannot wait to spin it. Clock Opera 'Once And For All' (Andrew Weatherall Remix) by [...]

Trying to keep consistent with the posts that I put together last year, this is my list of favourite new artists that I found in 2011. One caveat worth mentioning, a lot of these artists may have existed pre-2011, but only came on to my radar last year. Although this post really should have been published at the end of last year, I'm glad I'm finally getting to it. Stream them in playlist form via Spotify , Rdio and Grooveshark . [...]

I played this track for my friend Jess (of Roundletters / Static Zine ) and she said it was my type of song. I was like, "what's my type of song" to which she shrugged (online). So I started thinking..what is my type of song? Well, taking a look at this single from English act Clock Opera , I guess it would feature the following - lots of OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHs - glorious cathartic rousing choruses - uplifting synth lines - tracks with anthem potential - great vocal work [...]

The London group post up a reworking of their new single.

Having never visited Eurosonic before, I assumed it was your usual music industry festival type-deal. Hundreds of bands and loads of industry looking for the next big thing. While the festival can fill that remit, the important part for me is the European focus. Over 250 bands from around Europe congregate in the city of Groningen, north of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and live music is the main attraction. Festival bookers and promoters are here to book acts for their festivals and the EU offer subsidies to those who book Eurosonic-featured acts. Add in the work [...]

With the advent of a new year, there comes the scramble that most blogs get caught up in, to make their predictions about who they think will make it big over the following twelve months. I'm not sure about you, but one look at this year's BBC Sound of... list was enough for me to bury my head in my hands in abject despair. I'm a fan of only a few picks on that list; the rest failed to click with me at all. A much more pleasing alternative was the Blog Sound of 2012 list, [...]

After a strong 2011, Clock Opera have started this year equally as fast with the announcement that 'Once And For All' will be their next single release. To coincide with this they have made a music video equally as thought-provoking as the previously released 'Lesson No. 72. 'Once And For All' is an emotional track in the most uplifting sense. The video however is not uplifting, quite the opposite (so probably don't watch if you're having a shocker) but it is a superbly directed picture all the same, with a good cameo from frontman Guy Connelly [...]

Clock Opera have released an emotional new video for their track, "Once and For All". Seriously get you kleenax out for this touching tale of an elderly man. This is in complete contrast to the previous gritty video for "Lesson No. 7" . This is off the band's debut record, Ways To Forget , out April 10th. I'm expecting BIG things from these Londoners this year. Clock Opera - "Once and For All"

"Once And For All" by Clock Opera , from the upcoming 2012 album. Outstanding song and video, just finished my fifth consecutive listen. Get this single on iTunes .

Clock Opera: Once And For All It always amazes me how some bands take almost no time to go from nobodies to somebodies in the music business whereas others gradually bide their time and patiently make the killer move when the time is right. Clock Opera definitely form part of the latter category. Having released Once And For All - their first proper piece of material - way back in 2009, they have just edited the song for its official 2012 release. Not only is the song an excellent tour-de-force in electro pop but the video [...]
