Details: On their third full-length, The Clientele are setting free their inner Monkees with a lovely blend of Big Star twisted power pop, Byrdsian country achin' and flashes of the Beatles at their most joyful and upbeat. The ghosts, half-light and uncertainties remain, but included in this music is a newfound optimism. With the addition of piano and violin, the band paints from a broader palette, adding splashes of pedal steel and side guitar to their already lush songs.
