London's dream-pop trio, The Clientele, first came to my attention with Strange Geometry, their highly regarded 2005 album. But it wasn't until 2006 that I paid the album any attention. I had read plenty about the band in the music press and their affiliation with Merge Records certainly helped. No, it took Spoon's Britt Daniels to name it his 2005 album of the year for me to listen in earnest (i love the lists).The month marks the release of their second effort for Merge entitled God Save The Clientele and it is replete with many of the same simple yet beautiful dreamy pop songs that made Strange Geometry so easy to listen to.
