The Clockworks by Nicholas O’Donnell
The Clockworks, part of Live4ever’s Presents series last year, have unveiled their new single Can I Speak To A Manager?.
“Musically I think it is one of the starkest and darkest tracks that we have,” James McGregor remarks. “In essence it’s a simple story of getting a dodgy laptop and having no luck on the phone to the company who sold it.”
“Without the ‘fast-food distraction’ factor I hoped the laptop would provide, I looked around for something else to do and found nothing. Nothing on TV, nothing in the fridge, showering for some purpose. Spending money to try and buy some purpose just makes me more cynical. I wanted to sort of drill in the phrase, ‘Can I speak to a Manager?’, to get a feeling that everywhere I look, that question is there.”
It’s the group’s latest on Alan McGee’s Creation 23 label, and is due on August 14th.
