Work with Guy Connelly from Clock Opera to create a pocket symphony for Thomas Tallis using found sounds. Perform with the digital orchestra (see below)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hometown: London.

The lineup: Guy Connelly (vocals, instruments).
The background: As our humble tribute, we were going to make it a rule that, starting today, every new band for the next 50 days would have to be as magical and magnificent, as sublime and transcendent, as Michael Jackson, but that would be ridiculous, if not impossible. Besides, there's Michael Jackson, and there's Michael Jackson, with Billie Jean and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough at one end of the MJ value scale, and Heal The World and You Are Not Alone at the other. If we were going to use that measuring system, on the MJ gauge today's new band would be a notch or two below Smooth Criminal but a couple above P.Y.T. Averagely extraordinary, in layman's terms.
They're almost as eccentric as Jackson-as-Jacko. Not that they sleep in hermetically sealed tents and hang around with hominoids, just that their approach to music-making is rather unusual. And they do remind us of how much we wished Michael had chosen Aphex Twin or Squarepusher to be his production accomplices towards the end of his life instead of Will.I.Am. We say "they", but Clock Opera is really a he: Guy Connelly, who used to be in bands called The Corrections and The Fall Out Trust and now cuts and dices found sounds and instrumental segments with psychotic finesse. What you imagine to be harp glissandos on one of his standout tracks, Alouette, are actually the noises made by five guitars, "chopped into smithereens and fiddled with sonically and in terms of pitch and rhythm," as Connelly told us. No wonder he calls what he does "chop pop" - he literally chops up sounds to create songs out of bits. He might just as well call it "bash pop", though - because he gets a lot of his percussive effects by rattling whatever happens to be lying around on his desk, by whacking an assortment of metal objects that he's come across in skips such as cheese graters and old car batteries, or by wandering round his house slamming the cutlery draw or banging the barbecue. Not literally achieving sexual congress with the barbecue - even Michael Jackson didn't go that far. He chops up his lyrics as well: he finds a story then cuts up the words and reassembles them in a random order that occasionally will make a strange sort of sense after several readings. Man Made, for example, came from an article in a magazine about a beauty pageant in a women's prison in Siberia where one girl from each block got dolled up and played for the chance of parole. And White Noise was a personal reminiscence of the time Connelly was walking down London's Whitechapel Road when a riderless motorbike came careening towards him and nearly sliced him in half. Gives a whole new meaning to his "chop pop" thing, that does. So why Clock Opera? Because Connelly's into "pocket symphonies with a mechanical, repetitious feel" and singing in a high-pitched voice over the top (very over-the-top). He and his band have only played two shows but already the A&R fraternity are circling, which is encouraging, because this is hardly Black Eyed Peas, although it is pop music, if groups as out-there and experimental as Associates and Animal Collective can be counted as "pop", or if the ravishing "systems music" of Philip Glass and Steve Reich could be called such. Connelly has done remixes for Yeasayer and Bloc Party, he has written scores for the Rambert dance company so you know we're not exactly dealing with the new Pigeon Detectives here, and he is working on his debut album with Graham Stewart, engineer on Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac, which also augurs well. Oh, and he happens to believe that Michael Jackson will be appearing very soon at the 02 in white robes, with white hair and white face, reborn. Should be a good gig.
"Frenetic, bleep-ridden synth-rock."

The truth: Warbled vocals over repetitively rhythmic music that isn't techno, house or any variant thereof - we'd sign them if we had a label.

Most likely to: Be described as "Aled Jones singing with Autechre."

Least likely to: Work with Quincy Jones.

What to buy: Currently unsigned, you can hear Clock Opera at their MySpace.

File next to: Archangel, Associates, Animal Collective, La Monte Young.

Tomorrow's new band: The Ruling Class.
