Clock Opera - White Noise
Clock Opera’s “pocket symphonies with a mechanical feel” are assembled by Guy Connelly and friends using the cut-up technique, layering found sounds, improvised percussion, distorted instruments and Connelly’s own singing. According to the Guardian, this track is about a time when he was walking down Whitechapel Road as a motorbike came careening towards him without a driver; a yarn possibly as fabricated as the arrangements. As an unsigned act, there is no release to date but an album is being recorded with Radiohead engineer Graham Stewart and there is an appearance at Latitude on the way too.

Hi,
I’m a huge fan of your blog, and end up adding at least half of what you put out into my own playlists for the daily work commute!
At the moment i’m in love with this track, but the lack of quality is driving me crazy! Oddly enough they remind me of “the hours” when I first caught wind of them a couple years back. Can’t wait for their album!
Keep the excellent music coming
Thanks, you’re very kind. I’ve been busy lately but hope to be back to three posts a day soon. Any coffee recommendations for me? The stronger the better
