The Clientele Share Claire’s Not Real
I will likely despise the weather in July down here in Texas, but I won’t have to hate on all the great albums, as the Clientele will drop their much anticipated I Am Not There Anymore. Their latest single begins with this sort of bossanova influenced bit of jazz, dripping with this sort of lounge mentality; it’s definitely a further sign that their still growing their sound, years down the road. Of course Alasdair lets his vocals rain down through your speakers, the tune takes on that familiar territory and I’m here to swoon. You can grab the new record on July 28th from Merge Records.
Felt like we covered a whole lot of territory last week, which was mostly me just working super hard to keep myself occupied over summer vacation. There were so many great songs that I felt people overlooked in the big indie world, such as the new stuff from Wireheads and Big Blood. Or maybe you can go on with the old dependable from Balmorhea, the Clienteleor High Water Marks. Going back through, definitely appreciating stuff like the Sheeps track and the Chopper tune too, so you’ve got plenty to be excited about when you burn through this playlist. Get on it.
I felt like I let you down last week, having only really covered about 17 new songs, but in that, we tried to make sure there were some burners in there that would get you excited. What better way to start off this week’s recap than bringing you the world’s best power pop outfit, The High Water Marks and their new single. We got a new RVG tune, which is never a bad place to be, plus Beach Fossils continued to show their growth on the new LP. And, it wouldn’t be us if there was no Austin contingent, so we ran an acoustic session from Redbud, plus the latest from Dress Warm. Take a listen.
