In the run-up to the release of new album 'Apnea', there's a lot happening in O Children's den, with the 'Chimera' video premiering, the album streaming and Fred from Spector donating an unusual album review to the Twittersphere.

Firstly their propulsive, dramatic pop single 'Chimera' now has a brand new video, which has just premiered over on Noisey.com. Set for release on 11th June, this compelling and understated track is driven by frontman Tobi O’ Kandi’s sonorous vocals - the longing contained within them accentuated by the video's hazy and wonderfully disjointed lost-love narrative.

'Chimera' is the first single to be taken from O Children's forthcoming sophomore album Apnea, due out on 4th June via Deadly People.

Earlier this week NME.com posted a full stream of 'Apnea', hear it in it's entirety HERE.

And in a bizarre twist, Fred Macpherson from Spector took it upon himself to tweet a heavily stoned track by track review to 'Apnea'. And very funny it is too, read it HERE.

Taking in krautrock, garage rock, post-punk and West Coast melodies, 'Apnea’ represents a distinct new chapter in the band's career, O’ Kandi has taken production influences from a variety of genres and their sound has richly developed from their 2010 debut.

The album also represents the culmination of over 2 years of torturous travails as O’Kandi found himself “essentially stateless, stuck here, a prisoner in England”.

Having played a string of warm up dates for Vice in March and with a series of Great Escape appearances under their belt, O Children will headline Hoxton Bar & Kitchen for their album launch before making their debut on European shores later this summer.
