In contrast to their previous release, “Belongings,” the band’s new single “Lesson No. 7,” is an intense and aggressive cut that portrays Clock Opera’s depth and diversity in their song craft. Along with Guy Connelly’s powerful vocals, the ferocious synths, punchy bass, explosive machine-gun snare and frenzied guitars give “Lesson No. 7” a contagious and relentless energy that makes standing still impossible.
Clock Opera will release their Lesson No. 7 EP on October 3rd on Moshi Moshi / Island Records.
Included on the EP is “Seven Hours,” having already given a glimpse of their varied influences and abilities with their singles to date, “Seven Hours” heads in a completely new direction again and displays a gorgeous, emotive beauty that is becoming a signature in their sound.
Alongside these 2 new songs, there is a very special world first to complete the package. After the critical acclaim of his long awaited 2nd album, Tom Vek lends his unique production expertise to remix another artist for the very first time.
Tracklist:
1. Lesson No. 7
2. Seven Hours
3. Lesson No. 7 (Tom Vek’s Tripping Mix)
Clock Opera has been steadily building a reputation as purveyors of cerebral, original and utterly captivating music over the last year.
