The ClienteleBest The Clientele Albums Ranked

Suburban Light

pitchfork

9.1

“This welcome reissue of the Clientele's first full-length restores it to its UK tracklisting and artwork and puts it back in print on vinyl for the first time in years. The original album has lost none of its evocative indie pop brilliance, and the bonus disc fleshes out the story of the band's early days.”

The Violet Hour

pitchfork

8.7

“Half-formed thoughts, departed lovers, music on the gramophone, the sun's last rays.”

Strange Geometry

pitchfork

8.6

“When I was in high school a friend drove a 1970 Impala that his gearhead dad had kept garaged for years. The radio was AM-only, and as luck would have it, reception was poor and the only station it could pull was Lansing, Mich.'s version of the "Golden Oldies" format. Oldies, yes, these were the songs to hear in this car. Tooling through the streets while listening to pop singles from the late 195”

God Save the Clientele

pitchfork

8.3

“After two albums, various EPs, and the godlike singles collection Suburban Light, this London band inches away from articulating a rich and complex world informed by magical realism, memory, and the ache of nostalgia toward a new, brighter light, broadened in both sound and outlook.”

I Am Not There Anymore

pitchfork

8.0

“Marked by newfound sonic adventurousness and evocative dream-logic lyrics, the long-running UK band’s new double album is a bold quest into the vast unknown.”

That Night, a Forest Grew - EP

pitchfork

8.0

“Available now through eMusic and soon via venerable Spanish indie pop label Acuarela, That Night, A Forest Grew is a four-track collection steeped in the growing sonic confidence and clarity of the Clientele Mk. II but harkening back to their earlier lyrical pursuits.”
