Four years after the release of their debut album, Guy Connelly, Andy West, Che Albrighton, and Nic Nell, or commonly referred to as 

Clock Opera,

The indie rock band from London have been working tirelessly to produce an album that would thrust them back into the musical circus – starting a crowdfunding campaign to ensure that their material could be heard by a wider audience and not consigned to rough demos and scribbles in notebooks. Two months after the initial plea the band reached their goal and got to work on creating ‘Venn’.

In contrast to their debut album, ‘Venn’ is 

“More darker and rhythm led…” 

With the emotionally raw voice of Connelly, the haunting lyrics and the darker edge of the rhythms used and sampled, this album comes together to tell stories of heartbreak, isolation, and loss. Although ‘Tooth and Claw’ has a more upbeat feel behind it, do not mistake it for being any less emotional than the rest of the album. With lyrics like “

When yesterday’s friend is a friend no more” 

“I need the feeling that I had before” 

While there are occasional similarities to Tame Impala it should be mentioned that 

Clock Opera,

‘Venn’ is out now via 

League Of Imaginary Nations.
