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.

Uncut (p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Beguiling....[E]legantly embellished with strings from Louis Philippe."
Magnet (p.89) - "Listening to STRANGE GEOMETRY is like wending your way through a 45-minute bout of dream-pop d‚j… vu."

Title Note

The Clientele: Alasdair MacLean (vocals, guitars, bouzouki, Fender Rhodes piano, sleigh bell); Nikki Gleed, Sarah Squires (violin); Charlie Stock (viola); Hannah Stewart (cello); Mark Keen (piano, organ, Hammond b-3 organ, drums, percussion, background vocals); James Hornsey (piano, Hammond b-3 organ, bass guitar, percussion).

Recording information: Bark Studios, Walthamstow, London, England.

The Clientele are not the kind of band that changes horses in midstream, and 2007's STRANGE GEOMETRY finds them following the same sonic path on which they began their journey in the '90s. Fortunately for all concerned, they just keep getting better at it. If anything, the hushed, fragile tones of the band's low-key, psych-pop-influenced sound are more melancholy and autumnal-sounding than ever ("Since K Got Over Me" and other tunes suggest that a broken heart may have offered some inspiration). STRANGE GEOMETRY is as winningly melodic as anything in the band's shimmering discography.
