“Half-formed thoughts, departed lovers, music on the gramophone, the sun’s last rays.”
- Pitchfork, 8.7
REISSUE OF THE WEEK: ‘The Violet Hour’ by The Clientele
Albums which sound exactly like their sleeve art - The Clientele’s second full-length is a distant, gauzy, hypnotic indie pop daydream.

@AndroidNeil That makes sense Neil - To have accidentally recorded these songs could be an innocent mistake. But to then come and watch them being played would point to something more sinister.
3/4 of the founder members of the Clientele will reform on Thursday 5th December to play old songs at the Moth Club, Hackney, with support from The Smashing Times. As a precise historical reconstruction, we will aim to fuck up almost everything we play.

On 5th December we’ll be back playing songs from ‘It’s Art Dad’ and ‘Suburban Light’ at Hackney Moth Club with our original drummer Dan Evans. Billed under our old band name The Butterfly Collectors. With our friends from Baltimore, the Smashing Times.

Losing Haringey came top of fans' requests for 23rd November show. So once we get a volunteer/victim to read it we'll do it. One requests set, one set with cello.

Playing TWO sets on 23rd Nov - one will be made up of Clientele song requests from you. No support act. Last show for a while.

15 years ago today, #theClientele released “Bonfires On The Heath” (@mergerecords). The fields are full of voices. Check out the awesome mix tape @theclientele made us that year: https://t.co/l8vFNgDM8S
