    “Fantastical” Richard Hawley
    “Weird and wonderful” Rob da Bank (BBC Radio 1)

    “A first class debut and highly recommended”
    Sean Bruce (Counterfeit Magazine)

    “An under-stated thing of smartly restrained elegance
    and musical mischief.”
    David Dunn (The Star)

    “The gloomy vibe of the city is certainly one plausible reason
    for the strong sense of fantasy, humor and self-derision
    that globally typify its locals.
    This trademark often comes out in Sheffield’s pop music
    that has nurtured a sort of ‘surreal’ feel over the decades up to
    now with those new local ‘heroes’, The Cuckoo Clocks.”
    P.L. Berlatier (Spiritofeden.com)

    “The Cuckoo Clocks have succeeded in creating a
    bizarre and enticing sound”
    Paul Robson (Now Then Magazine)


    The Madness of Order is the self released debut 12 track album from Sheffield sextet, The Cuckoo Clocks.

    Originally the eccentric brainchild of Paul Infanti (from much missed John Peel
    favourites, Treebound Story) and DJ/producer Sophie Toes (Sheffield’s foremost queen of the Mixer),
    Cuckoo Clocks have since become a fully-fledged 6 piece symphonic beast, blending beautifully naive clockwork rhythms
    with definitive super glue melodies to create a pastoral Garden Wall Of Sound.


    Educated comparisons have travelled from Velvet Underground to Simon & Garfunkel; Television to Fun Boy Three,
    and after several appearances at Sheffield's legendary beat venue, Club 60, and their own sell-out shows- including a
    spectacular vaudeville cabaret at Sheffield’s Lantern Theatre, their 12 track long player is now available on Cd and download.
    The band have several shows in the pipeline this summer including a headline performance at
    Sheffield City Hall Ballroom as part of Tramlines Festival (22nd July) and a 2 day appearance at
    Shambala Festival (August 24th & 25th).

    Softly surreal- like something from the mind of a peculiarly English Terry Gilliam- the band draw influences from
    the other worldly and subtly strange, creating an original style which suggests a visual narrative that inspired
    Word Magazine writer and music critic John McCready to create a gently twisted story for a world where the clocks tick
    backwards and nothing is quite what it seems.

about

The Cuckoo Clocks UK

There's something elemental about the music of Cuckoo Clocks, the counterpoint of Tracy Deakin's powerful vocal balanced by Paul Infanti's knowing tones, the compelling blend lifted aloft by soaring six point harmonies. The Cuckoo Clocks combine hypnotic swathes of West Coast psychedelia, country tinged soul with a nod to folk electronica. ... more
