Anybody here familiar with the band Clinic?
They're British (and fairly new - they've only got a couple of albums).
Their musical style is very hard to pin down. They use guitar and keyboards (organ, piano, electric piano) and some spaghetti-western-sounding harmonica thing. All the arrangements are fairly sparse and appear to be minimally miked and recorded without a lot of multi-tracking. I hear influences of 60's psychedelic (Strawberry Alarm Clock) music and 60's surf music, as well as 70's punk. The music sounds like it's older - like it came from 20-30 years ago. It's strange, but I can't stop listening to it.
The fidelity isn't great - they sort of sound like a garage band, sometimes, which further contributes to their slightly anachronistic sound.
Anybody else listen to these guys?
