Editorial Review:
London's purveyors of lush melodies and gorgeous, hazy pop are back with twelve new tracks of dreamy folk, shimmering psych guitars, and string arrangements. This is the band's third album to date, following 2003's "Violet Hour" and 2001's singles comp, "Suburban Light". "Aggressively, gratuitously lovely, modernizing the chambery charms of Love's 'Forever Changes', The Zombies, and Galaxie 500" - Spin.
Recorded with producer Brian O'Shaughnessy at Bark Studios, Walthamstow, Strage Geometry features12 new tracks of dreamy folk-pop, shimmering psych guitars and string arrangements by Louis Philippe and is their third album to date following 2003's Violet Hour. Pointy. 2005.
12 Tracks of Dreamy Folk-pop, Shimmering Psych Guitars and String Arragements.

Rating:  - Contains some incredibly gorgeous music
The only reason I don't give this five stars is that the second half of the disc is merely so-so. The first half is exquisite, containing some amazingly beautiful songs. "Since K Got Over Me" is wistful, sad, and gorgeous, with somber, reflective lyrics about how the singer's loss of orientation because his lover was able to survive the loss of his love:

I can't chase it away
And when the evening paints the streets

This band came to my attention with the song "(I Can't Seem To) Make You Mine" as featured at the beginning of "The Lake House." I found the song to be lovely and haunting and I couldn't get it out of my head the night after my wife and I rented the movie. So I hunted down a sample of the album (on another website) to see what the rest of their material sounded like. At first, I found the music enchanting and ethereal.

Rating:  - SWEET HAZY POP
Love this CD, sounds like a sleepy beetles. I didn't know what to expect for sure when I bought it, but am very glad I did. If you like low-key very melodic pop, you'll love this. It will lull you into a state of bliss.
Rating: - Great!
I've been a fan of the Clientele since first hearing their Fading Summer EP in a record store 5 years ago. This new album is excellent. The Clientele have the same foggy coastline sound, but appear to have had a bigger budget for this album. The writing is lovely and the playing is wonderful.
I also recommend "Kaleidoscope World" by the Chills for fans of the Clientele.
