July Skies - The Weather Clock (02/2008)


Genre : Indie/Experimental/Ambient

The eagerly awaited follow up to the July Skies album The English Cold is now available from Make Mine Music.

The Weather Clock is firmly planted and focused on a lost post-war Britain . The beauty of the recently constructed regimented housing estates, fresh from the municipal architects drawing board….the green of front lawns against the blue of the summer sky.....it is the sound of the empty school hall once the summer holidays had commenced.... children playing on distant grassy hills far from the edge of the estate....faded branch line summers where steam met diesel.....the sound of swallows across the fields on a fresh dew drenched May morning.....the nothingness of days and afternoons….the innocence and lightness of a breeze through an open window, striking pastel patterns on curtains which billow….the sound of BBC closing down broadcasts during the daytime and displaying the TV test card for the afternoon, whilst the country continued to work, play or learn....this is the sound of The Weather Clock.

The first 350 copies of the album will come with an exclusive CDep ˜The Weather Clock ep™ which will be available through the MMM shop only and nowhere else (with no repress or download).
