Album Intro:
The first studio full-length-proper from The Clientele. Recorded & mixed by the band at Medina Roads Studios in the UK over several months in 2002, 'The Violet Hour' promises to only further cement The Clientele as one of the most eloquent pop bands on the planet. Languid melodies & delicate choruses combine to transport the listener to a hazy dreamlike world where Alasdair MacLean weaves his witty, sardonic tales of love, loss, possibilities, & dreams. The record is eloquent & sparse, yet never lacking for lush soundscapes. A truly beautiful chamber pop masterpiece from a band poised to claim their spot amongst indie-pop royalty. This Japanese edition includes one bonus track, 'Breathing Soft & Low', that was previously released as a B-side to their lead-off single, 'House on Fire'. 14 tracks in all. P-Vine. 2003.
