Bonfires on the Heath

by The Clientele

Bonfires on the Heath cover art

On their fifth studio album, the London-based band perfects their signature, deeply autumnal approach to dreamy, 1960s-inflected indie pop. Alasdair MacLean's hushed vocals and intricately fingerpicked, reverb-soaked guitars are augmented by subtle brass and string arrangements that perfectly capture the misty, surreal atmosphere of the English suburbs. It remains one of the most consistently gorgeous and evocative releases in their celebrated catalog.
