Produced by front man Guy Connelly, "Belongings" is already a highlight of their live set; an incredibly beautiful and emotive song, while the b-side is the understated brooding and delicate "Let Go The Lifeboats." Clock Opera has been steadily building a reputation as purveyors of cerebral, original and utterly captivating music over the last year. Their first limited edition single "White Noise" is now a rarity and both "A Piece of String" and "Once and For All" released in 2010 have cemented the band's prolific future among their constant growing league of followers. They have supported the likes of Yeasayer and Au Revoir Simone on their UK tours and have also delivered inspired remixes for the aforementioned artists as well as reinterpretations of The Drums and The Golden Filter. Clock Opera will be performing at this year's SXSW festival for the first time, and wrapping up recording their debut album slated to see release later this year.
