Alone and unreal : The best of the Clientele

"As far as most contemporary pop bands go, the Clientele have been consistently great. Take any album of theirs, select any track at random, and you'll likely wind up listening to a miniature masterpiece of dreamy London-based indie pop with Alasdair MacLean's gently whispering sweet nothings into your ear. So it's odd that Unreal and Alone, the first and so far only compilation of the Clientele, is so brief. With vinyl's appeal back on the rise again, Unreal & Alone was made with wax on the mind. 11 songs, 44 minutes, this best-of touches on the band's five full-length albums".

"Since they began releasing records in the late '90s, the Clientele have been responsible for some of the most haunting, most pristine, and flat-out best indie pop imaginable. After a listen to Alone & Unreal: The Best of the Clientele, the case could easily be made that the group may be one of the best bands of their era period".
