It’s Time to Shine: Clock Opera
London band Clock Opera have slowly been building a reputation as one of the most interesting and exciting new alternative pop acts around, with their original and distinct ‘Chop Pop’ sound. This week sees the release of the hotly anticipated Clock Opera remix of ‘I am not a Robot’ by Marina & The Diamonds. There is no doubt, and I know Marina agrees, that the Clock Opera remix is far superior than the original by taking an average (to good) song and propelling it to an exciting new pop direction. With the release of the Marina remix Clock Opera will suddenly be thrusted to a huge unexpecting new audience. It is unlikely to make the same impact as the Skream remix of La Roux’s ‘In for the Kill’, although largely because ‘I am not a Robot’ has had far lesser impact on the charts (currently #61 on singles chart). However, with the imminent success of this remix, described by Neon Gold as the ‘best remix they’ve ever heard’, Clock Opera’s stock is undoubtedly and deservedly on the rise. The band have also announced the release of their second single, the brilliant ‘A Piece of String’, on June 7th, which will further cement Clock Opera as one of the hottest new bands around.
