loversOct 28, 2005While I'm big fan of absolutely magical Suburban Light compilation, both Clientele's studio albums do nothing for me, especially this latest one. Magic has long time gone, as they say.

jakekNov 11, 2005I'm a huge fan of everything the band has done, but I can't quite turn the corner on this one. Maclean's songwriting is dumbed down and has been replaced with a coat of studio gloss. The result is an album that has style to burn (Phillipe's string arrangements are often stunning), but ultimately just a lot of spinning wheels. Where'd the depth go, lads?

The slight nods to accessibility and the decreased stylization might disappoint some of the faithful at first, but Strange Geometry grows more appealing with repeated listening.
-
Despite a few sleepy moments on the album's second half, Strange Geometry has more flair and movement than Violet Hour, and perfects the band's ability to be uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time.

Here’s a band so fond of their particular brand of mid-tempo dream pop that they do not feel compelled to try anything else. At least they take the time to be particularly observant as they comb their territory.
