Notes: Somewhere between the sounds of The Zombies, Felt, and Galaxie 500 is the world of The Clientele. Jangle-filled treble guitar, swelling strings, organ flourishes, odd nostalgic production, and Alasdair Maclean’s breathy, reverb-laden vocals and surrealist lyrics drive their first album. Which isn’t an album proper, but a collection of singles released from 1997-2000. This is on the short-list of one of my favorite albums ive heard in the last few years.

For fans of: The Smiths, Felt, Belle And Sebastian, The Left Banke, The Zombies, The Byrds, pastoral pop landscapes
