Description

Product Description Clock Opera began with Guy Connelly, a London, England-based multiinstrumentalist whose soaring, emotionally naked voice recalled the likes of Paul Buchanan (the Blue Nile), Billy Mackenzie (Associates), and Antony Hegarty (Antony & the Johnsons) without being quite as extreme as the latter two vocalists. After forming a live band with Che Albrighton (drums, samples), Dan Armstrong (keyboards, samples), and Andrew West (bass, guitar, keyboards), Clock Opera released their first single in 2009 with the “White Noise” 7” on Puregroove. Further singles followed in 2010, including “Once and for All,” on Kitsuné. The same year, Connelly remixed the Phenomenal Handclap Band's “Baby,” Marina & the Diamonds' “I Am Not a Robot,” the Drums' “Me and the Moon,” and Au Revoir Simone's “Tell Me.” In 2011, the band’s reputation continued grow, releasing the infectious “Belongings,” single on Moshi Moshi Records. Further remixes followed for Metronomy, Feist, Everything Everything and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
