The man with the golden beak is back, releasing another single from his much anticipated album ‘Charmer.’ This time, the track titled ‘Puppet Theatre’ features the famous trio Peter, Björn and John as we delve into the ever mysterious genre known as deep house. With a dark vibe and eerie vocals, Claptone gives the feel that we are all just puppets waiting to be strung about. I have that strange notion that I should be looking over my shoulder constantly for someone twirling the wooden pegs to make my arms and legs work.

In terms of the album, ‘Charmer’, expect that to drop on October 16th to a massive release party scheduled for Amsterdam on the eve of ADE this fall. You can find Claptone’s extensive touring schedule below if you decide you’d like to see the golden beak in person. (Hint: it is really fun and sounds amazing)
