Shifting the day for new album releases from early in the week to Fridays has been a nice move. It's almost the weekend after all, a moment and a feeling that everybody treasures. As we transition towards Autumn from where I'm writing there are a number of good records to enjoy on the morning of the 22nd which I hope to get round to over the coming weeks.
Not least the return of The Clientele, that most English, and appropriately Autumnal of bands after a seven yeas absence. Their new album Music in the Age of Miracles finds them getting back together after years of domestic responsibilities and frankly it's as if they've never been away. The clock ticks slowly in Clientele songs, they chart the emotions of being immersed in particularly English landscapes, the spirit of Beatles, Zombies and early Floyd breath again to beautiful crafted, dream immersed melodies. There's a strange, contented longing going on here. The right record for this time of year.
