Bonfires on the Heath

The Clientele

Shimmering guitars and breathy vocals wrapped in a thick fog of reverb. A quintessential autumn record that feels like a twilight walk through a 1960s suburb.

It sounds like a 1960s pop record that's been left out in the rain and fog for forty years.

A warm, suburban haunting that feels both comforting and deeply lonely.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, bright bloom of horns that cuts through the hazy guitar fog on the title track.
The way the drums feel slightly muffled, as if played in a garage three houses down.
The transition into 'Sketch', where the album briefly dissolves into a ghostly, ambient fragment.
