The Clientele - lunar days, 2017

“Lunar Days” finds the Clientele in decidedly sharper focus than anything on their previous two releases, 2010’s mini-album Minotaur and 2009’s sepia-toned Bonfires on the Heath. It’s sprightly and gently psychedelic, recalling the pattering rhythm of the band’s early singles “This is the year that the monster will come,” MacLean sings as the chorus fades out. It feels like a message from the not-so-distant future, channeled through a song that aims to transport you there."
