About this event
Screens everywhere, connection nowhere. On their second album The Entertainment, The Clockworks dissects a society that is addicted to technology and increasingly distant. After a breakthrough period with their debut Exit Strategy and long tours with the likes of Pixies and Johnny Marr, the four opted for a radical approach: months of seclusion in order to work on music. Each recording separately and bringing it all together afterwards. The result is an album full of friction: dark and light, tension and release. Cinematic, layered and ambitious. With influences ranging from Kendrick Lamar to Morricone, from post-punk to synth-driven melancholy, The Clockworks sounds bigger and bolder than ever. Four friends making music to draw you away from your screen and push you out into the world. Now that’s entertainment.
