Domino is proud to announce the arrival of Clinic's new album 'Bubblegum', released on Monday the 4th of October 2010.
‘Bubblegum’, Clinic’s sixth album, is a rewiring of Clinic’s trademark hyped up sound. In place of churning riffs and wired vocals is a dream state of harpsichord, dulcimers and strings. Melody and softness combine with the band’s unique internal logic to produce a record of pop beauty.
‘Bubblegum’ is Clinic throwing us a curveball. Alternating between lost soundtracks to exploitation films: ‘Liontamer’, ‘Un Astronauta En Cielo’, watery pop-psych: ‘Bubblegum’, ‘Linda’, ‘Forever (Demis’ Blues)’ and ping-pong symphonies: ‘Milk & Honey’ and ‘Another Way Of Giving’, this is a very different and very singular Clinic.
Produced by John Congleton (Bill Callahan, St Vincent) and recorded at Elevator Studios in Liverpool, 'Bubblegum' is a high water mark in Clinic’s career to date.
The album will be preceded by a beautiful new single 'I'm Aware' out September the 20th. Listen to a characteristically unique megamix of ‘Bubblegum’ here:
