The Clientele

Event Information

Cherished UK trio The Clientele released their new album 'I Am Not There Anymore' on July 28th via Merge Records. This time out, The Clientele — vocalist/lyricist/guitarist Alasdair MacLean, bassist James Hornsey and drummer Mark Keen — incorporated elements of post-bop jazz, contemporary classical and electronic music to their classic chamber-pop sound. They'll be playing tracks from the new album alongside hits from their classic albums such as 'Suburban Light', 'Strange Geometry' and 'God Save The Clientele' at Village Underground, London on Saturday 23rd November 2024.

"The Clientele’s first album in six years makes for an ideal reintroduction to one of the great ’00s indie-pop bands. It asserts all their strengths while opening new pathways in their tranquil sound: romantic piano chord progressions intermingle with electronic breakbeats; dreamlike narratives arrive with snatches of a string quartet chopped and rearranged through digital sampling. Though the kaleidoscopic palette is often far removed from the austere arrangements of the English band’s early years, the overarching mood hasn’t changed much. This is music for solitary walks under streetlights, moments when the smallest observed details can open into expanses of memory or suggestions of possible futures." - Pitchfork
