Clinic
Liverpool's art punk four-piece Clinic formed in 1997 out of the ashes of Ade Blackburn and Hartley's previous band, Pure Morning. The duo added Brian Campbell and Carl Turney to the fold and released the thrashy debut single IPC Sub-Editors Dictate Our Youth on the group's own Aladdin's Cave of Golf label; it reached number nine in John Peel's Festive 50 singles roundup that year. 1998 saw the release of equally well-received singles like "Cement Mixer" and "Monkey on My Back," which also showcased Clinic's blend of chugging, {$Velvet Un...[more]

Their brainfrying new record. Winchester Cathedral is Clinic's third album, and overall the sound is more natural and deliberately less polished than Walking With Thee. Filled with extremes of bubblegum weirdness, harmonium, fuzz, pianola, and an effects-driven hint of Professor Longhair, the album has an overall deranged party feel, broken up by several mellow Bread freakouts. The songs started with skewed folk beginnings then took a turn into something bordering on the indescribable. Compari [ read more ]

The album is a compilation of the first three rare Aladdin's Cave Of Golf singles. "I.P.C. Subeditors Dictate Our Youth", "Monkey on Your Back", and "Cement Mixer". 9 Tracks. "In terms of a rock manifesto, Clinic's jagged, nerve-shredding approach is primal, but also essential in an era when subversion seems to have become a forgotten thrill. Dripping throughout of the sinister, sleaze-infested New York avant-punk scene of the Seventies, it's hardly surprising that this collection ? bringing together the co [ read more ]

Described by NME as "a stunning return to form", this release sees the band work again with Gareth Jones (Interpol, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode).

Clinic's long-awaited debut album Internal Wrangler fleshes out the sound the group crafted on their self-released EPs, and it also adds a few new twists. Though eerie, punk-tinged songs like "The Return of Evil Bill" and the title track sound like they could have appeared on the band's first singles, Internal Wrangler's best songs concentrate on the experimental yet accessible sides of Clinic's sound. "The Second Line"'s darkly catchy throb, the aptly named "2nd Foot Stomp"'s organ-dri [ read more ]

Their fifth studio album is a summer album, a warped Technicolor celebration - pop music and severe cut-ups going from melody to acid psychosis to acoustic, usually in the same song. "Do It!" is a skewed pop amalgam of Motown, Exuma, deep lounge, and The Balloon Farm, amongst many. Songs about living for the day, love, escaping witchhunts, and more. Mixed by Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Kings Of Leon, Archie Bronson Outfit).
