MP3: Piece Of String - Clock Opera

My first Hypewriter post subject has already come to fruition. Clock Opera's amazing single 'Piece Of String' is now available to download. The song highlights all the original and brilliant sides to the band. Guy Connelly's wavering vocals, with the deeper synth rhythms and razor chopped guitar leave a melody so complex and unnerving but utterly perfect. The whole song is driven by a clicked drum complementing the tune rather than dominating it leaving a perfect base for the pained lyrics to lay over. Read more, Listen and Download after the beep.

Hypewriter: Clock Opera

Hypewriter aims to bring you the bands destined for greater things at a time when you can go see them in small venues without paying astronomical ticket prices, allowing you to enjoy and appreciate the music these great bands are making. 

Clock Opera are the band I have chosen as my first venture into my new series of posts, 'Hypewriter'. The London based four piece are a good place to start as they embody everything which I want to promote in these posts, they a great band which have potential to be even greater with the support of fans. The band are fronted by Guy Connelly (formally of The Corrections and The Fall Out Trust) and in his words make 'Chop Pop'. The genre 'Chop Pop' should, in this case be taken literally. Clock Opera take guitar riffs and everyday objects and 'chop' them up into tiny pieces, somehow putting it all back together to create the most harmonic and noise filled symphonies.
