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 Imelda May Love Tattoo Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th February 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Imelda May Love Tattoo £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1591 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Suuns Images Du Futur Rock And Pop | Secretly Canadian | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 28th February 2013 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Suuns Images Du Futur £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secretly Canadian SKU: SC260LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Patrick Watson Love Songs For Robots Rock And Pop | Domino | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 11th May 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Patrick Watson Love Songs For Robots £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP360 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Reverend And The Makers The Death of a King Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP Released 22nd September 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Reverend And The Makers The Death of a King £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP657 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wild Nothing Indigo – Limited Edition Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st August 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wild Nothing Indigo – Limited Edition £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT282LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Planningtorock W Rock And Pop | DFA | 1LP Released 13th January 2012 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Planningtorock W £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: DFA SKU: DFA2273LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th January 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beach Fossils The Other Side Of Life: Piano Ballads Rock And Pop | Bayonet Records | 1LP Released 19th November 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beach Fossils The Other Side Of Life: Piano Ballads £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bayonet Records SKU: BR043LPC1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View M Huncho My Neighbours Don’t Know Rock And Pop | MYB | 1LP Released 15th September 2023 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders M Huncho My Neighbours Don’t Know £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: MYB SKU: MYB3 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arab Strap I’m totally fine with it 👍 don’t give a fuck anymore 👍 Rock And Pop | Rock Action | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th May 2024 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Arab Strap I’m totally fine with it 👍 don’t give a fuck anymore 👍 £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rock Action Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th May 2024 Read More Select options Nearly New View Product Quick View Tobias Sammet's Avantasia The Mystery Of Time (A Rock Epic) Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th October 2023 £90.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Tobias Sammet's Avantasia The Mystery Of Time (A Rock Epic) £90.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: nn273927 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Rock And Pop Start again
