From 1997 until 2000, The Clientele had released a sterling string of 7\" singles on several labels — \u003cstrong\u003ePointy\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFierce Panda\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eElefant\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJohnny Kane\u003c\/strong\u003e. These were demo versions made in preparation for the big album they were on the way to making. Unfortunately, once they found themselves in a proper studio, they could not find the sound they wanted. Instead of the warmth of their demos, the engineer wanted to make them sound like \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.com\/search?q=Radiohead\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadiohead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. Perhaps it's for the best then, that \u003cem\u003eSuburban Light\u003c\/em\u003e is comprised from those demos. The album retains the intimacy of those initial records. It's the sound of four pals, playing songs written from a place with which they all identify. The album is the bare essentials of what makes up The Clientele and it's damn beautiful. 180 gram reissue, includes CD of covers, rehearsals, B-sides, and three unreleased songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g black vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes bonus CD ft. 10 rare bonus tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edigital download included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Merge Records 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Michu Meszaros 07\/2014\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"The Clientele","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP+CD","offer_id":55032120377683,"sku":"2R-6237","price":8.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1092\/9582\/9331\/files\/theclientele-suburbanlight-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1790143005","url":"https:\/\/x0tczy-nz.myshopify.com\/products\/the-clientele-suburban-light-180g-free-mp3-vinyl-lp-cd","provider":"My Store 2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
