Clinic's Visiting Hour Has Arrived

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ONE!

Straight from the Domino newsletter:

The brand new album by Clinic, Visitations, is due for release on 16th October. The album, produced by the band with Gareth Jones, was recorded over the Summer in Liverpool.

A stark contrast to the darker, denser sound of Winchester Catherdral, Visitations has an intensely upbeat and fuzz based party feel to it. Below is a track by track commentary on the album:

'Family' - a ballroom favourite, marred by fuzz.

'Animal/Human' - delves into social engineering and impact on human decency.

'Gideon' - raw, neo-12 bar outing with illegal symbols.

'Harvest(within you)' - laid back and groovy modern classic.

'Tusk(album version)' - intense punk song, about some people's need to lie to exist.

'Paradise' - very mellow yet emotional dancefloor excursion.

'Children of Kellogg' - the lynchpin of the new record. Proto-metal riff, xylophone and Johnny Mathis-styled segue/coda.

'If you could read your mind' - medieval acid punk.

'Jigsaw Man' - acoustic pagan celebration, contains the opening line "Mother melted in the fridge".

'Interlude' - erotic break-up song.

'The New Seeker' - communal fuzz rebirth with skewed electronica.

'Visitations' - fragile and traumatic set closer. Features the line "One more offer one more lie, are temptations in your life".
