About The Clientele
The Clientele are a guitar pop band who instantly came up with a sound that was all their own, hazy, autumnal, and sad with yearning vocals. arpeggiated guitars, and a calmly elastic rhythm section. Early albums like 2000's Suburban Light had roots in the morose chime of Galaxie 500 and Felt, but they had enough tenderly lush melodies of their own to escape sounding like a tribute band. As they grew musically, they seamlessly added elements to their core sound: strings on 2005's Strange Geometry, haunted folk on 2009's Bonfires on the Heath, world music on 2017's Music for the Age of Miracles. By the time of 2023's I Am Not There Anymore, they had expanded into jazz and avant-garde electronics without any of the melancholy charm and melodic grace they exhibited from the beginning.
