This fall, Clinic are leaving the shores of Liverpool behind to venture once more to North America. The organ-loving (the musical instrument, not, like… your heart or your liver or whatever) four-piece is swinging through New York and New Jersey for a bit of a teaser this August, before returning in November to make their way from sea to Canada to shining sea. The band will be repping their latest album, Bubblegum, which is set for an October 5 release on Domino, arriving about two years after their last album, Do It! (TMT Review). Produced by John Congleton (Bill Callahan, St. Vincent), Bubblegum promises “dulcimers, strings, and tack piano.” Ooh, dulcimers! Hopefully they are being played by little woodland creatures and Joanna Newsom-sounding tiny Appalachian ladies.
Check out the video for the first single, “I’m Aware,” over here.
