Release Notes:
Deluxe Edition features the previously unreleased bonus track "The Cape."
Few contemporary rock bands have the sonic vision of this Liverpool quartet, who
blend a stylistic propulsion akin to Joy Division with the ambitious scope of
Ennio Morricone, complete with the Italian film composer's penchant for melodica
and fuzzy surf guitars. The results are both agitating and oddly comforting.
Their loveliest tunes, like the vocal-choir ditty "Animal/Human," pulse with
dark keyboard undertones and dischordant clangs of autoharp. Even at their most
rigorously experimental Clinic cling to '60s roots. In "Children of Kellogg"
they contrast sandblasting guitar and jittery cymbal smacks with blithe
melodica, and an easy-listening interlude (think Mantovani) gets shattered by
the sound of sawing wood. If that's not enough to signal their sense of humor,
consider titles like "If You Could Read Your Mind" and their habit of playing
gigs in surgical scrubs. Although not quite as towering an achievement as 2002's
Grammy-nominated Walking with Thee, Visitations keeps Clinic at the tip of
modern popular music's shrinking creative vanguard. --Ted Drozdowski
Since exploding into life about nine years ago, this Liverpool quartet released
a brilliant debut, "Internal Wrangler" in 2000, toured with Radiohead, and
appeared at Scott Walker's Meltdown. In 2002, their second album, "Walking With
Thee" earned them a Grammy nomination. Described by NME as "a stunning return to
form", this release sees the band work again with Gareth Jones (Interpol, Nick
Cave, Depeche Mode). Clinic are distinctive in the way that The Fall, The
Residents, or Missy Elliot are distinctive - it's hard to mistake their sonic
fingerprint for anyone else's, yet because they keep exploring the outer limits
of their thing, they always sound fresh.
