Carousel Clock Opera SKU: LIN4LP Barcode: 4062548003765 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: League Of Imaginary Nations Released Date: 7th February 2020 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Clock Opera release their long-awaited third album ‘Carousel’ on 7th February 2020 on League of Imaginary Nations / !K7 Collective. ‘Carousel’ is a unique and intimate look at the emotional challenges faced when becoming a father, a search for new identity and an examination of what you need to surrender in order to change. Guy Connelly, Clock Opera’s lead singer, found that the profound life changes accompanying parenthood transformed his writing process. Huge questions dominated and called him to account. How do you adapt to a fundamental shift in your place in the world? How do you accept a loss of control when every instinct tries to retain it? Learning to deprioritise and surrender yourself to what you need to become. History repeating, becoming your parents, inhabiting a body that you don’t recognise as your own. Admitting you’ve been wrong and the need to transform. But there is also a great sense of discovery, joy and renewal to ‘Carousel’, a return to the euphoric uplift of their debut ‘Ways To Forget’; an understanding of the odds against being alive at all. A new sense of incredible wonder and happiness accompanied by a fresh set of reasons to fear the future. Then, after all this, how much of your old self, the only one you know, can survive? ‘Carousel’ sees Clock Opera reach new heights in their production and songwriting craft, seamlessly combining a wide range of instrumentation, from distorted bass clarinet, French horns, Suzuki hand chimes to mournful midnight choirs and ambient swells in collaboration with found sounds and frozen moments. Inspired by sci-fi soundtracks (Jóhann Jóhannsson, Jerry Goldsmith, Mica Levi), experimental theatre scores, unpredictable electronica & futuristic pop, ‘Carousel’ was self-produced at their South London studios. Drawing from the deep artistic wells of Shawn Everett, Homogenic by Bjork, Roy Orbison and ambient Eno recordings, the album was written in a sequence of intensive bursts in hideaways from Peckham to LA. Nic Nell’s wild synth improvisations, driven through a collection of idiosyncratic 80’s delays became a huge part of the ‘Carousel’ sound, drawing from the experimental electronic palette of his Casually Here recordings. As ever, Che Albrighton’s furiously energetic drums power the whole operation relentlessly to its target, with spontaneous detail and featherlight touch. Mixed by Kristofer Harris at Squarehead Studios in Kent, in the same room that their sophomore album ‘Venn’ was made. This creative continuity has resulted in a beautiful and accomplished record, simultaneously vulnerable and triumphant, immediate and multi-layered. Clock Opera rose to prominence in 2012 with their debut ‘Ways To Forget’, together with a raft of well-loved remixes for Everything Everything, Christine & The Queens, Metronomy, Blood Orange, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Marina & The Diamonds amongst many others. In 2017 ‘Venn’ explored darker themes and wider sonic territory, featuring ‘Whippoorwill’, their most streamed track to date. Clock Opera are Guy Connelly (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, production), Che Albrighton (drums, percussion, samples), and Nic Nell (keyboards, bass, vocals, production). “one of the indisputable masterpieces of British pop … rare sonic ambition and scope” – The Sunday Times “a bar-raiser – an album of intelligent synth pop bubbling with humanity” Clash Artist Clock Opera Genre Rock And Pop Label League Of Imaginary Nations Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Be Somebody Else Carousel Run Imaginary Nation Howling At The Moon I Surrender Algorhythm Snake Oil Super Blue Blood Moon Last Things First Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View John Mayer Battle Studies Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd May 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Mayer Battle Studies £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985393231 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Depeche Mode A Broken Frame | The 12 Rock And Pop | Sony Music CMG | Box Set Released 31st August 2018 £53.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Depeche Mode A Broken Frame | The 12 £53.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music CMG SKU: 88985482011 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Pumas Chronicles of a Diamond Rock And Pop | ATO | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th October 2023 £22.00 Select options Black Pumas Chronicles of a Diamond £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: ATO Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Belle and Sebastian Write About Love Rock And Pop | Rough Trade | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 6th October 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Belle and Sebastian Write About Love £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rough Trade SKU: RTRADLP480R Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Dylan Self Portrait Rock And Pop | Sundazed | 180g, 2LP Released 13th July 2016 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan Self Portrait £42.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5122 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 13th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eagles, The The Long Run Rock And Pop | Warner Music | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th December 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eagles, The The Long Run £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Music SKU: 8122796160 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sum 41 All Killer No Filler Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 28th October 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sum 41 All Killer No Filler £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5360701 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arthur Beatrice Keeping The Peace Rock And Pop | Polydor | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th May 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Arthur Beatrice Keeping The Peace £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 4776585 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Casi & The Blind Harpist Sunflower Seeds EP Rock And Pop | Chess Club | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 15th March 2019 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Casi & The Blind Harpist Sunflower Seeds EP £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Chess Club SKU: CC093 Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 15th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thin Lizzy Live 2012 Vol.2 Rock And Pop | Rock Classics | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 1st August 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thin Lizzy Live 2012 Vol.2 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rock Classics SKU: RCV102LP Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 1st August 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
