Music for the age of miracles

"Alasdair MacLean's psych-hued dream-pop crew nurtured seductive worlds of their own over six albums in the 2000s, seeming to occupy a bubble outside of time, with judicious nods to 60s forebears such as Love. After various extra-curricular and touring activities, The Clientele return refreshed and uncannily preserved on their first album in seven years, lit up like a beacon of self-contained consistency and own-terms growth for uncertain times".

"On the first full album in seven years from the softly psychedelic British band, they've left something behind in the quest to recapture the essence of the Clientele".

"Although they haven't made a record together for many years, from the first notes of the Clientele's 2017 album, Music for the Age of Miracles, it's like they never went away .... The wait between albums may have seemed interminable, but the return is both a relief and a true pleasure. The times are always right for music as healing and calm as the Clientele's; the times surrounding the release of this wonderfully peaceful and uplifting album need it even more - and, thankfully, the band has responded with some of its best work ever".
