Ways To Forget
Londoners’ debut proves it’s their time to shine
Ways To Forget is the hugely anticipated debut album from English alt. pop hopefuls Clock Opera and it’s a record that bursts at the seams with ideas and imagination. As indebted to that old renegade of sound Peter Gabriel as it is to straight ahead, impassioned stadium indie, the album is massive-sounding – ensuring that the call and response balladry of ‘Belongings’ and album opener ‘Once And For All’ are destined to worm their way into your frontal lobes and lodge themselves there for a very long time indeed. As uplifting as a pep talk from Andrew WK, Ways To Forget is a memorable debut for all the right reasons. Mark my words, tracks like ‘Man Made’ are sure to soundtrack the summer for many.
