Blue Matter

The Bevis Frond is a British neo-psychedelic/indie rock band that was founded in 1986 in London. With their unique blend of mesmerizing melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, they have captivated audiences worldwide. Drawing inspiration from the likes of *The Green Pajamas*, *The Dream Syndicate*, and *Robyn Hitchcock*, The Bevis Frond has carved out their own distinct sound within the music industry.

Known for their experimental approach to music, The Bevis Frond has been compared to bands such as *Thin White Rope* and *Green On Red*. Their eclectic style combines elements of psychedelic rock with indie sensibilities, creating a sonic experience that is both captivating and unforgettable.

Over the years, The Bevis Frond has garnered a loyal following who appreciate their raw talent and innovative songwriting. Influential artists like *Steve Wynn* and *The Soft Boys* have praised their work, further solidifying their place in the music scene. Whether you're a fan of neo-psychedelia or simply looking for something new to explore, The Bevis Frond's discography is sure to leave an indelible mark on your musical journey.

The Clocks was originally issued in 2007 as a CD-only limited edition of 110 for members of The Bevis Frond Online Community. It comprised 19 previously unissued tracks. Most of these were home demos featuring just Frond frontman Nick Saloman on all instruments and vocals.

Since then, it has never been re-issued in any format. It is therefore with great pleasure that Blue Matter are re-issuing it for the first time, and now as a vinyl double album and limited CD. 

Due to certain circumstances, three of the original tracks could not be used, so these have been replaced these with another three previously unheard tracks from Nick Saloman's extensive archives. These songs include the seven minute 'She's Taken It All', originally intended for 2004's 'Hit Squad' album but dropped at the last minute due to timing constraints. The beautiful 'You Better Make Do' and the edgy 'Devil Doll' have also been added. We are delighted to be able to make this 'long lost' album available once again and think it will be a welcome addition to the Bevis Frond canon.
