From Brighton Beach To Santa Monica





















The Clientele are one of the best bands out right now. Their last two albums ("Strange Geometry" and "God Save The Clientele")have been nothing short of perfect. I say this as a weary old man, quite crabby and impressed by very little these days.

They have a new one coming out next month and they are streaming the whole thing right now at the link below. Give it a listen, I'm excited. The third track, "Harvest Time", is vintage Clientele: Alasdair MacLean's haunting English drone cooing over lush, reverbed out single coil guitar and an airy snare-ride rhythm section. Reminds me a bit of a song I wrote called "summertime", but that is neither here nor there.
