CLOCKWORK FLOWERS – Clockwork Flowers / Moonlight In The Sky (2025, 7-inch, Great Bliss Records)

RELEASE INFO:

Label: Great Bliss Records

Format: 7”, Single, Limited Edition, 300 copies

Release Date: 21 Nov 2025

Somewhere between the tick of time and the hum of celestial light, Clockwork Flowers return to remind us that Popsike dreams still pulse in the grooves of a 7-inch record. As the band celebrates its 20th anniversary, they launch their own imprint — Great Bliss Records!

Their debut release from the new label, the “Clockwork Flowers 2025 Singles” (out 21 November 2025), is a lovingly crafted 7″ vinyl featuring “Clockwork Flowers” on Side A and “Moonlight In The Sky” on Side B — both co-written with late British ‘60s psych luminary Keith Law (Velvett Fogg, Jardine). While these tracks appeared on their June 2025 anniversary album Clockwork Flowers (check my review here), the single versions have been newly recorded and mixed between 2024–2025 at Great Bliss Studio, capturing the band’s latest and most radiant sonic incarnation.

Pushing their analogue devotion to new eco-conscious heights, the band cut the record using vintage gear — including the mythical Fairchild 670 compressor/limiter — at one of the best mastering studios around. Pressed on Bio PVC, a non-fossil compound made from used cooking oil and salt water, the single embodies a full-circle ethos: sustainable psych with no compromise in sound or spirit. Even the FSC-certified sleeve, printed with bio-ink and powered by green energy, echoes that same balance of nature and noise. Designed by Anthea Bliss, each numbered copy comes housed in a proper LP-style sleeve with 3mm spine, a white inner sleeve, and a lyric sheet, plus a download code for the mp3 version.

Only 300 copies will bloom into the world — a fleeting run for the faithful — available directly from the Great Bliss Records Shop and digitally through Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, and all major streaming platforms.

“Clockwork Flowers” A-Side
Autobiographical and wistfully sentimental, this track feels like a diary page set to a glowing carousel of sound. Co-written with late psych legend Keith Law, it’s a song that blooms slowly — guitars, fluid organ, and soft vocal harmonies that drift somewhere between melancholy and revelation. It’s the kind of psych-pop that turns nostalgia into something vital and new…

“Moonlight In The Sky” B-Side
The flip side shines brighter, lighter — pure British Popsike with a touch of ’60s Californian sun-kissed groove. Another collaboration with Keith Law, it floats on breezy harmonies, chiming guitars, and the sweetest “Na na na’s” this side of 1967. There’s a sense of effortless joy here, melody, memory, and melodic sunshine perfectly aligned.

Together, these two songs capture the dual spirit of the band’s 20-year journey — reflective yet radiant, vintage yet vibrantly alive. Two songs born of memory, moonlight, and meticulous craft, carrying the timeless hum of the sixties into the here and now. The gears turn, the petals unfold — and the Clockwork Flowers keep spinning toward the stars… TimeLord Michalis
