The Clientele Artist Snapshot:

Alasdair Maclean (vocals, guitar) and James Hornsey (bass) met more than a decade ago and planted the seeds that would become the Clientele, motivated by the desire to forge a sound reminiscent of contemporary psych-poppers like Galaxie 500 and original avant-melody makers like Love. With the addition of Mark Keen on drums and Mel Draisy on the keys and other assorted instrumentation, they started releasing a steady stream of singles by the late '90s, before American indie mecca Merge finally gave them stable backing. Since 2000, the group has released a handful of well-received records for the label. Their touring stints with everyone from fellow pop enthusiasts Lambchop to the neo-hippie wildchildren Brian Jonestown Massacre have underlined their broad appeal to anyone who enjoys good hooks and a bit of post-punk intellect.

Review

Spin (p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "These Londoners specialize in melancholic, Beatles-esque melodies....'Here Comes The Phantom'...and the disco-inflected 'Bookshop Casanova' are the album's best moments."
Uncut (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The featherlight guitars and intervals of spoken word are intriguing. 'Bookshop Casanova', sharp as a kitten's claw, is a real pop breakthrough."
Magnet (p.91) - "[T]here's plenty of shivering tremolo, long-shadow reverb and tempos slowed down to the sound of a single raindrop breaking the surface of a winter lake."

Title Note

On their third full-length album, the Clientele dial back on the overt 1960s influences of their first two albums to include some slightly more contemporaneous references. The resulting album, GOD SAVE THE CLIENTELE, crosses the band's trademark sunshiny pop tunes with some echoes of contemporaries like Of Montreal, the Apples in Stereo, and Lambchop, whose Mark Nevers produces here. Bits of 1970s-style country rock infiltrate the Scottish popsters' tunes here and there, as on the opening "Here Comes the Phantom" and the aching "No Dreams Last Night," while the psychedelic, largely whispered "The Dance of the Hours" and the dramatic "The Garden At Night" emphasize the Clientele's often hidden trippy side.
