One day millions of people will realize that they should have listen to this band years ago.
So underrated!
Luis P have been for some time, some cool music , good lyrics, good sound, the Brits have many a good bands always have, from 60s to about now.
That day was about four or five years ago for me when I heard them for the first time. Somehow it felt like my experience of life living in London in the late nineties found its perfect pitch in their music and I couldn't work out how I'd not heard of them all those years ago.
Luckily, It only took me five years since their debut album to discover these fellas.
So sad I'm not likely to see them live someday, as they've been terribly overlooked here (Mexico).
it sounds like the Beatles if they never broke up and all grew up into married w/children life
For the first time, I just heard this amazing band Nov 30th 2020 on KXLU
This bass player is making the whole thing work. Great band!
One of the most underrated bands, otherworldly sound!🙏🏼
For sure only 20k views what a injustice
give credit to the engineer as well for capturing their sound and really bringing it to life
Hurts so good. Been coming back to this repeatedly this year. Been feeling like a bit of a ghost; but I just put this on, watch, and kinda go into a zone.
MageWithoutOrgans beautiful. I know what you mean
Suburban Light is my favorite album of all time so this is a treat.
Mine too! I'm glad to see them get back together!
Listen to this new one closer. Its right there together with suburban light
Such a good band, live and in the studio. As a big fan of early 80s dreamy jangle pop like Cleaners from Venus or Durutti Column, they've become a constant in my rotation.
Saw them play in an art gallery in Detroit in 2002 and have loved them ever since . They create some of the best music of our time . Listen up
Alasdair’s Tele Thin Line & that amp tremolo = clutch
Random gem I found on UA-cam. I’m loving your sound.
Listening to this and getting very emotional. Been listening to them since A Fading Summer. Absolutely beautiful. Ethereal, transcendent, gorgeous ... there aren't words that capture them. I am sincerely in your debt for like most of my life. Cheers.
So breathtaking. They're all so clearly and effortlessly talented, and blend so well together. Would love to be able to see them live some day!
Amazing live band. Highly recommend!
I've loved these guys from day one.Grab your favorite chair,and chill out to the Clientele!
Can't believe I met Alasdair once and totally missed the opportunity to tell him to "keep it unreal". Classic case of staircase wit.
This is my favorite band of all time! So glad to see them here! I love hearing these more stripped down versions of the new songs. Makes it sound more like the sparseness of Suburban Light, their first brilliant LP release.
Mesmerizing music. 😌
wow
Love this sound combination since 2008.
They remind me alot of "The Innocence Mission" and that is a true compliment. Thank you KEXP for being all about the music, and giving Musical Artists a wonderful platform to show the World their song's!
best band ive ever heard
Bonfires on the Heath...truly music that exemplifies the Fall season in my opinion.
I’m crying 😻
Saw them perform live in October. Best performance of 2017 for me!
Now THIS is great quarantine music. (And great music in general of course)
such wonderful music, a year after this video was posted, still only got poorly 15k views, what an unfair world
i’ve been a fan since the early days and i’m still stunned by the sound a three person band can create; ✨sheer magic✨
Wonderful band, wonderful channel, wonderful station, wonderful DJ
I adore this band. they give my brain relief when I need to relax, I would love to see them live!!!!
Una banda que no es pretenciosa, pero aún así logra cautivar con su sonido sencillo y a la vez hermoso.
So distinctive sound
I really love this band!
You are good forever that is kind of music it make me cry of joy every time I am listening
Love them since the beginning, a sound like no other.

The Museum Of Fog
One Friday night, in late summer, I was walking the old canal
Cars passed, open windows blaring hits by Madonna.
Buddleias overhung the road.
I left the towpath as the light began to fail
And found myself in a pub car park.
From its battered sign, I recognized the Fox and Hounds
I'd last visited two decades ago,
Before I'd left the town for good,
A 16-year-old slumped over an illegal rum and coke.
A policeman had been striding towards the door
And the landlady bundled me and my friends out of a window
In the gents toilets
From which we nimbly landed on the canal towpath
And melted into the night, laughing.
Inside, nothing had changed.
The jukebox still boasted a 45 by Twinkle,
Thirty years after it had dropped out of the charts
Mock Tudor windows still faced the road and oak beams above
blackened in a fug of smoke.
No one was drinking there.
A crowd didn't begin to gather until nine
Kids, not cool exactly, but somehow... leonine.
I guessed from the posters on the walls they'd come to see a band,
And soon they were filing past me,
Paying an entrance fee to a man in stonewashed denim
And disappearing into a back room.
The idea of a night drinking alone was unpleasant to me
The pub was now empty.
I had nothing to lose, and I picked up my beer
Paid my money and followed them in
The room was cramped and dark, and during a momentary hush,
A singer on the stage was introduced as The Phantom.
He was wearing the kind of plastic mask sold in art shops,
and a superhero's cape.
To a round of applause, several other musicians formed a circle,
turned in on each other like wagons on a prairie.
I looked around me: the crowd was bathed
in the red glow of the stage lights.
For a moment, the buzz of amps filled the expectant quiet.
Then, without a count-in, the band began to play.
Almost immediately, I froze.
The sound their instruments made was almost-human:
my beer glass slithered through my fingers
As I recognized it as my own 16-year-old laughter,
Escaping through a toilet window, retreating from a policeman,
Dragged back through the long track of years which had passed,
And re- presented, re-lived in front of the audience.
In its disembodied state,
it was one of the most purely beautiful things I have ever heard-
it briefly brought the past back to life,
Old hopes and innocence burst into sudden flower.
I was sweating, shaking in the dark room, tears welling in my eyes.
But within seconds the laughter died
And the hair on my arms stood
I had the physical sensation of shapes evaporating away
Into the night outside.
Slowly, the music took on a harsher, more abstract tenor
And in it I heard the faint seashore noises of the motorway
Building into a long drone which slowly became overwhelming
Roaring like a jet engine
To me, at that moment, it seemed to express our years of living
With that motorway sound,
years of it underscoring every day and night,
every experience we'd lived through,
cleansing it from our bodies and minds in a deafening catharsis.
I was shaking as the band rounded their set out with a wash of
bells or wind chimes.
As they left the stage to scattered applause,
it occurred to me that the Phantom had not sung a note.
He was pushing through the crowd towards the exit
Hemmed in by acolytes.
I tried to get near him but I couldn't.
Dazzled by the sudden bright light in the room,
My certainty drifted away
Had the sounds I'd heard been exactly
what I'd thought they were?
I was in a difficult, neurotic state
and perhaps there were memories welling up that I couldn't control.
I felt suddenly depressed and tired,
disgusted with my own numbness.
Kids were leaving, ignitions starting up outside;
The Phantom had joined a carload,
Rolling on up the road towards the town and its only nightclub.
The pub was closing down.
I stood in the night
And I wondered what had been taken from me
oh yes tremolo all the way!
I think The age of Miracles was not played on this performance, but the description mentions it, it is a bummer, because i love that song.
It's included in this session!
KEXP yes! My mistake, little confused with lyra in october
The Clientele are up there on the ..... wait, what is the English version of Mount Rushmore?
He kinda plays like Joni Mitchell (The main singer). I love this band's sound.
Gorgeous sound! More pretty music please, less rackety noise. The Clientele, yummy on the ears, I'm going straight to bandcamp and buying it!
I know Alasdair names the narrator on Museum of Fog but does anyone know who she is?
Alicia Macanás :-)
@@aliciamacanas haha. Thank you. Your narration and performance of the song is wonderful!
OMG! It's not on Bandcamp! Where is it?

Thank you, my friend! I LOVE this group. Although I must say, sometimes the KEXP acoustic versions are superior to the sometimes overproduced (?), more sterile sounding recorded product (a great example wuld be Wolf Alice - check them out, so sublime). Thanks so much.
Needs more tremolo on the guitar ....
Needs quadrupolo
compress them vocals dog, that shit should pop. its all guitar! mediocre mix.
Maybe they don’t want to should all over themselves and sound like everyone else.
