Video: CLOCK OPERA - MAN MADE (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

According to an excellent interview with singer and main man Guy Connelly by Londonist ,  Clock Opera 's latest single Man Made is partly "constructed from a story in a 50p magazine about a beauty pageant in a Siberian women’s prison, whereby the winner was granted parole".  This case history aptly demonstrates the breathless inventiveness of this fourpiece, and that fact's also loudly, proudly on show in the newest offering.  For here are vintage Clock Opera touches: jangly and catchy up-tempo beats, a powerful video and vocals packed with emotion and feeling.

While some band names are created after a crazy drunken night out or some long epiphanic moment in the studio, London-based electro-pop quartet Clock Opera claim that their name came from machines and a composer’s fascination with pocket watches. “I remember reading a story once about this composer who had written a symphony for pocket watches, and he never made it – probably unsurprisingly,” Clock Opera singer, songwriter and group mastermind Guy Connelly reveals. “But I just really liked the idea of this mechanical symphony of music being made without any people, [...]

Tweet You know those spots right? The ones that are just ripe for popping. They start as little red and irritating afflictions. They then flesh out and puss up and then one morning, you awake, and there they are, a now prominent landmark on the landscape of your face. Everyone looks at it and everyone knows there is only one way to deal with it. Not Clearasil, not a good scrub with the flannel, this needs two finger nails, a small amount of pressure and kablooie!

Something startling about SXSW that no-one tells you: bands act as punters and you'll often find yourself having a drink next to someone you've seen on stage earlier. Take, for example, Guy Connelly was stood next me as I was watching Slow Club at the Huw Stephens' curated showcase that his band Clock Opera had just played 2 hours before. One of the highlights from their set that night was 'Man Made', quite possibly the only music video in all of creation to begin [...]

Son dönemlerde en beğendiğim isimlerden bir tanesi İngiliz ekip Clock Opera . Melodik, melankolik, zaman zaman tuhaf bir karanlık hissi veren ve bir o kadar da umut dolu melodiler arasında akıp giden şarkılar yapıyorlar. Debut albümleri ‘ Ways To Forget’ 23 Nisan tarihinde Moshi Moshi Records etiketiyle yayınlanıyor. Umarım bu gençler beni yanıltmaz ve 2012 yılının en çok konuşulan isimlerinden biri olurlar. Finali son dönemin en beğenilen öykücülerinden Ahmet Büke'nin sözleriyle bitirelim. "Kovboyculuk oynarken çocuklara dedim ki: 'Ben Kızılderili olacağım.' Hepsi beni kovalamaya başladı. Ağaca bağlayıp gittiler. Komşumuz Hatçanım teyze birkaç saat sonra [...]

Clock Opera - Man Made

I saw Clock Opera for the first time at the Knitting Factory at the New Shapes showcase (put on by the good folks at Neon Gold), and I was blown away at how much of a grand sound they put out. Their music videos have been always been some of the most well done and and emotional around, and their new video for “Man Made” is no different. taking on the role reversal of girl and boy, the teens go against society norms to express themselves freely. Even though she might be wearing a moustache for 75 percent of the [...]

Clock Opera will be releasing "Man Made" on April 13th, and you can nab their debut album, Ways To Forget , on April 23rd. Happy Friday. ( LBYB [...]
