Exit Strategy Black Signed Vinyl

EXIT STRATEGYcentres around a protagonist who moves from Galway to London in search of meaning, certain that as the main character in the film of his own life, the solution lies in changing his surroundings and acting as someone hes not. The album promises encounters with manipulative bosses, evil ad agencies, a broken pact to flee to Australia, runins with the law, cheating boyfriends, drug fuelled youths, heartache, paranoia, social media anxiety and a drunk singer dressed as Jesus.Explaining the albums genesis and cinematic influence,James McGregorsays We were always sure we wanted the album to be greater than the sum of its parts, so decided to create the world of a film, entitled Exit Strategy. We envisaged the record as a series of snapshots, telling the story of a group of characters trying to navigate through life.Hallmarked more by a philosophy than a sound, The Clockworks weave pop sensibilities with noisy, postpunk, rockinfluenced stylings. The songs seem swaggering and dark yet often have an epic, nostalgic quality. They sit poetic introspection beside witty kitchen sink drama to create something intense but playful.
