Video: Belongings (official)

Dit jaar wou ik het eens zonder eindejaarslijstjes doen. Alleen al de gedachte om alle muziek die ik in 2012 heb geluisterd door te ploegen, op waarde te schatten en dan nog eens te rangschikken, deed mij huiveren. Maar toen werd het gewoon 22 december en was de wereld niet vergaan. Je gaat dan toch [...] The post ASPmusic kiest: de favoriete liedjes van 2012 appeared first on Apply Some Pressure .

clock opera - belongings [oh god, if i could bathe in this song, i so would! it's just lush and gentle until it explodes in this exuberant free for all musical expression. i nerd hard for songs like this! and i nerd hard for clock opera, easily one of my fave acts of the year! if you haven't picked up their debut album 'ways to forget', i think you should!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

O Children ( facebook / twitter ) are named after a Nick Cave song, this London four-piece conjure up a range of influences and styles. Fortunately, they pay homage, and expand on the sounds that inspire them here. More obvious comparisons would draw Joy Division and Echo And The Bunnymen, and they get that a lot. 2010’s self-titled debut proved to have real character once people looked past the simple and lazy journalistic tags of "bleak" and "dark". Apnea stories the personal struggle and legal battles of gentle giant (and frontman) Tobi O’Kandi. [...]

Camden Crawl (4-6 May '12) // Words: Saam Das Building on a relatively successful day one of the 2012 Camden Crawl , things got off to less of a joyous start on the Sunday as not one but two passenger emergency alarms on a Northern Line tube scuppered my attempts to catch a low-key Charli XCX performance in the Crawl's media hub. But with plenty of other bands to see over the day, that was only a minor setback. For [...]

Clock Opera have appeared from relative obscurity, to produce their debut album ‘Ways To Forget,’ a beautifully crafted record. I think – no, I know - that people are going to enjoy it. From first listen, Clock Opera most definitely occupy that most odious of genres for me, synthy, indie-poppy, squealy, joyous rubbish. Luckily for them and me, they occupy it, and then completely make it their own. They go from piano solos in songs like ‘Belongings’, sounding like they could have been lifted straight from Elbow ’s ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’, [...]

Considering SXSW’s influence within the music community, especially in indie circles, it’s no surprise that folks from across the pond clamber to be there. And no, it’s not just because of the great Tex-Mex and free beer. Honestly. Despite the freebies, it’s a costly mission. Austin is a 15-hour journey from London, with connections, and hotels certainly aren't cheap. Thankfully, bands can apply for funding via PRS For Music if their label is unwilling or unable to pay the bills to get them out there. As a result, there was a hearty British contingent present in Austin during [...]

I first heard Clock Opera back in 2010 when they released a lively upbeat single called 'A Piece Of String'. Lead singer Guy Connelly's slightly quavering vocals were just gorgeous and the mix of real instruments and samples gave them a unique twist to their indie rock sound. So I was pleased to hear that the band are due to release their debut LP 'White Noise' in April 2012.

• clockopera - Lesson No.7 (Tom Vek's Tripping Mix)

Nieuwe muziek ontdekken....wat blijft dat toch een fijne bezigheid! Je hoort iets wat je bevalt, zoekt meer nummers op en hoppa je Itunes library is weer een juweeltje rijker! Aangezien we in een tijdperk leven waar 'delen' een soort tweede natuur is geworden bij mensen mag ik jullie de naam ' Clock Opera' niet onthouden. Bij deze! Wellicht ken je Clock Opera al van een paar remixes, zoals The Drums - Me and the moon (Clock Opera Remix) en  Everything Everything – MY KZ, UR BF (Clock Opera Remix) Aan een album met eigen werk [...]

Clock Opera, Live @ Maida Vale, BBC Radio 1, 01 JUN 2011. Huw Stephens hosts Clock Opera's debut live session recorded live at the Maida Vale studios 01 JUN 2011. Tracks available for streaming and downloading. Clock Opera make extraordinarily accessible electronic pop music. They may draw from such esoteric sources as the systems music of Steve Reich and Philip Glass and have played their second ever gig at the Queen Elizabeth Hall backing the Ballet Rambert, but you don’t need any special qualifications to enjoy what they do - just an appreciation of [...]

There's been some amazing videos popping up on the interweb in the last few weeks. So many in fact we thought the best thing to do was to handily collate them all in one place for you to save your tired fingers from googling them yourselves. DON'T LET THE FINGERS TIRE! JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW - SPARROW AND THE WOLF Having stunned us all when James played O!IW last year, we're unsurprised to see him doing so well. This video is pretty eerie, but we like it. [...]

What’s striking about “Belongings,” the new single from Clock Opera, is how patient it is in its escalating progression of piano riffs, synths and pulsing rhythms.  The build-up doesn’t reach its feverish peak until the 3:46 mark, well past the halfway point of the song.  Thankfully, it’s all so beautifully orchestrated and complemented by Guy Connelly’s wistful vocals that it certainly evokes the longing in “Belonging.”  Listen to it now by checking out the accompanying video here (a nice mishmash of visual eyecandy that’s sure to draw comparisons with The Graduate, 2001 and Gondry’s video for [...]

Belongings by Clock Opera first came to us back in March ( here ) and with the single now out there via Moshi Moshi they have released a video to accompany the song. Starting with a slow rising gracefulness and ending in a kaleidoscopic explosion the video is a perfect visual accompaniment to the tune, following its structure and progression. Belongings is a stimulating and rousing piece of work that is worthy of every ounce of praise we can [...]

Os Clock Opera foram, desde 2009, a ideia e o trabalho a solo do multi-instrumentista londrino Guy Connelly. Connelly, para além dos Clock Opera, trabalha também como produtor, tendo sido responsável pela produção de “I Am Not a Robot”, de Marina & The Diamonds, "Me and The Moon", dos The Drums, "Tell Me", de Au Revoir Simone, entre outros. O novo álbum, de onde vem o single "Belongings", é uma nova fase dos Clock Opera, porque Guy Vonnelly decidiu formar uma banda para actuações ao vivo com Che Albrighton (bateria, samples), [...]

"Belongings" by Clock Opera , directed by Andy West.  Reminds me so much of Elbow , quite a beautiful track and video.  The kaleidoscopic effect unfortunately evokes images of flooding but features some striking images that really complement the layered build of this song.  The track is the newest single from the band, available on 73 at Moshi Moshi .  Glad I came across this, found here .
