Performer Notes

The Clientele: Alasdair MacLean (vocals, guitars, bouzouki, Fender Rhodes piano, sleigh bell); Nikki Gleed, Sarah Squires (violin); Charlie Stock (viola); Hannah Stewart (cello); Mark Keen (piano, organ, Hammond b-3 organ, drums, percussion, background vocals); James Hornsey (piano, Hammond b-3 organ, bass guitar, percussion).
The Clientele are not the kind of band that changes horses in midstream, and 2007's STRANGE GEOMETRY finds them following the same sonic path on which they began their journey in the '90s. Fortunately for all concerned, they just keep getting better at it. If anything, the hushed, fragile tones of the band's low-key, psych-pop-influenced sound are more melancholy and autumnal-sounding than ever ("Since K Got Over Me" and other tunes suggest that a broken heart may have offered some inspiration). STRANGE GEOMETRY is as winningly melodic as anything in the band's shimmering discography.
