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]

VINYL FORMAT. 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).

VINYL FORMAT. Ten years of Clinic flipsides are joyously addled but have consistently given a reason to listen beyond the A-sides, covering acid punk to damaged hoedowns and any stops in between.

Ade, Hartley, Brian and Carl are from Liverpool, but that's where the similarity with any other quartet ends. In fact, Clinic play as if pop remained in permanent thrall to Joe Meek before jumping straight to Studio One dub. Or as if The Shangri-Las drifted into Crime. Because Clinic sound like no other band. As individual as Suicide or The Monks, as self-sufficient as Modern Lovers or Silver Apples, they describe a twilight place: the streets surrounding John Carpenter's Precinct 13, the disco on the inhab [ read more ]

Since exploding into life about nine years ago, this Liverpool quartet released a brilliant debut, Internal Wrangler in 2000, toured with Radiohead, and appeared at Scott Walker's Meltdown. In 2002, their second album, Walking With Thee earned them a Grammy nomination. Described by NME as 'a stunning return to form', this release sees the band work again with Gareth Jones (Interpol, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode).

VINYL FORMAT. 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 indescri [ read more ]
