iTunes Review

Britain's Clientele began quietly releasing singles for a variety of independent labels in the late '90s. Well into the new century, the band's retro-based sounds were never too precious to not breathe. The atmospheres build to great effect, as the band employs a variety of techniques from heavy reverb to backward-recorded guitars that accentuate their sterling pop influences. While Nick Drake, early Marianne Faithfull, the early Bee Gees, Love, The Byrds, and The Beach Boys heavily influence their approach, The Clientele still serve up distinctly original sounds that make songs like "Reflections After Jane," "I Had To Say This," and "Monday's Rain" rewarding treasures. These are songs that grow on you over time. Suburban Light collects the group's early singles, plus several previously unreleased tracks. Along with the A Fading Summer EP, the U.S. edition of Suburban Light is a strong look at one of the most underrated bands of the late '90s and '00s.

Retrofitted pop band the Clientele had obvious roots in the hazy, autumnal glare of Galaxie 500 and Felt. Just as those bands took their Velvet Underground and Television records to heart without being derivative, the Clientele were able to chalk up an extensive discography riddled with lush melodies of their own without sounding...
