The Clientele formed back in the late 90’s but did not release their first full length record until 2003. The follow up to the debut album, Strange Geometry, was passed over by many hometown critics in the UK but found it’s place here in the states and vaulted the band to a some well warranted indie success.

The band has their third proper full length on the way now, titled, God Save The Clientele from Merge Records. The new disc sees the band staying in their comfort zone of bedroom indie pop and hushed vocals. The 60’s influenced pop tunes are tighter and even smoother on the ears on the new album if that is possible. But then, just when I’ve been lulled into a comfortable haze from Alasdair Maclean’s crooning, they hit me with an upbeat and dare I say energetic tune with “Bookshop Casanova.” Overall the album is just what Clientele fans have come to expect though, and new listeners that enjoy the Matt Pond PA’s and Galaxie 500’s of the world should be won over quickly.

God Save The Clientele is out May 8th from Merge Records.

    [...] English indie rockers The Clientele also return with their fourth release, God Save The Clientele. Their “60’s influenced pop tunes are tighter and even smoother on the ears” according to Each Note Secure. Obscure Sound lovingly appraises the London-based foursome, underscoring that “each song is graceful, memorable, and touching in its own right, making this The Clientele’s most successful effort yet.” [...]
