Wow

Stay in hollow ponds where you belong you slags

Nice audience recording of a Chicago show from the Mel years.

It was great to be on Pete's show yesterday and talk about the new album (as well as covering @theclientele.bsky.social, Kraftwerk, Ariana Grande, ABBA, spreadsheets and @reproutopia.bsky.social). Listen again here...

Carry A River In Your Mouth YouTube video by The Leaf Library - Topic

Very struck by this one from the new @theleaflibrary.bsky.social record. To the extent that I’m kind of wishing we had written it (ah the greed of songwriters) m.youtube.com/watch?v=o_bu...

Shacca

Yes I immediately thought it sounded like a Shack song too. Not quite sure what to do with that!

The Clientele - Lady Grey (Official Lyric Video) YouTube video by Merge Records on YouTube

Great song with a Geogaddi video... @theclientele.bsky.social

youtu.be/1SR44EGz1pg?...

Coming to Glasgow again in August xx get ya tickets now

We can’t work it out, which is why we’re still listening

Thanks for the recommendation, which, coming from you, carries some weight! I find those kind of books hard work normally but maybe will make an exception

Agree- there’s a ton of detail but at the same time a ton of space, which should not be possible!! You remember it as bare-bones but actually the production is extremely sophisticated

Wow, I worked on Tom Verlaine's Jazzmaster (feat. Jimmy Rip) YouTube video by Totally Wired Guitars

Inspired by watching this very heart-warming video (jimmy rip reminiscing about his friendship with Tom Verlaine, centred around his guitar and expanding to his eccentricities) youtu.be/XZwbyH9A5cU

Listening to this for the millionth time and still hearing new things - murky piano chords mixed low, vocals double tracked (or ADT?) the double tracked leads by Richard Lloyd, how much Verlaine is singing from the stomach, the beautiful EQ job. Like all truly great music it is, at times, baffling

The Clientele - I Am Not There Anymore

An expansive 2xLP set, from the opener Fables of the Silverlink it's a gorgeous mix of chamber pop, field recordings, spoken word, piano instrumentals, strings & dreamy lyrics & vocals

Phrases & names return across songs binding this sumptuous album together

REISSUES OF THE YEAR 2025 - No. 9: ‘The Violet Hour’ by The Clientele

One of the best from the indie jangle dreamers, and my personal most listened to group of the year.

Wow, one from the vault!

Saturday, by The Clientele from the album Suburban Light (Remastered)

This is the closest we came to writing a Christmas song. Goes without saying it eventually saw release in mid-August theclientele.bandcamp.com/track/saturd...

The Clientele, 'Bonfires on the Heath' @ St Pancras Old Church, 26.11.25 YouTube video by StringBeanJen

I saw the season-perfect @theclientele.bsky.social at the cosy and intimate St Pancras Old Church on Wednesday and have 3 videos from the evening. The first is 'Bonfires on the Heath': www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiJs...

The Clientele Suburban Light

The Clientele released Suburban Light on this day in 2000 (28 November 2000). You can replay the listening party (no_753) here:

@theclientele.bsky.social
Until last night Optimum Reverb for The Violet Hour was my deserted communal shower room at my old university . St Mathias now takes the prize.

…and once more to worship the spectral, altar-ed states of @theclientele.bsky.social This time illuminating St. Matthias Church from within.

Potential to be a special one tonight

Gotta serve somebody
