Free Music Review: A leap forward
Hit: 4 Stars
From my blog Borrowed Tunes ([...])...
The Clientele have taken a nice leap forward with their second album, with improved production, songs, and overall confidence. They haven't changed; they've just refined and sharpened their sound. Last time around, they had my ear; this time they have my attention.
The band is an exercise in style - hushed, suave 60s folk-pop being the choice - and this move forward doesn't broaden their horizons much beyond their simple tremolo-guitar and swinging drums arrangements. A touch of strings here, an unexpectedly ratty guitar solo there lift the songs out of monotony, which they sometimes skirt dangerously.
In general, though, the Clientele have found a gift for dramatic melody that they only hinted at on The Violet Hour; there's still plenty of style, but a little less art and a little more pop. And with tighter performances, everything hits a touch more directly now. There's also a lyrical thread: a mysterious ex named "K" pops up a few times, and the titular phrase "strange geometry" is used more than once in reference to the disorientation at the end of love.
Looking for a modern touchstone? This band might fill the void left recently by Luna - not that Dean Wareham is gone forever - albeit in a lighter, more mannered way. If you like smart soft pop, the Clientele are for you.
