    All in all, for The Clientele this is another great album in what's getting to be a long line of great albums.
  2. The A.V. Club
    91
    Bonfires On The Heath continues one of the most remarkable winning streaks in alt-pop, in which each Clientele album has sounded like a welcome refinement of what came before.
  3. Under The Radar
    60
    At this point the band has mastered its studied simplicity. [Fall 2009, p.57]

    If you are prepared and willing to go inside yourself for a while, than you will get a huge kick out of this album. If not, you will look at it from the outside and think that most of it is depressing as hell. If you tend for the first option, get prepared to feel the warmth of a lovely room on a rainy thursday afternoon that's filled with talking portraits and revealing memories as a gentle cloud of opium drifts about. Probably their best since Strange Geometry.… Expand
