The Clockworks - Through The Looking Glass 
(V2 Records)
Release Date: Out Now
The long awaited second album from the Clockworks has been confirmed for release in March 2026 but, for now, we're just going to have to make do with the Galway band's new single. 'Through The Looking Glass' positively swoons under the smooth energy of those suave vocals but as the atmospheric chords give way to an urgent beat and pinging guitar line, I'm reminded of early Franz Ferdinand, peak Maximo Park or the Editors at their very moodiest. This is a great calling card for the album but it only makes more excited for full album - roll on 2026, in every single way.
