Lamplight is getting more free though still anchored in D
The Clientele were magical at St Pancras Old Church last night, treating us to lots of deep cuts plus the whole of their brilliant Violet Hour LP, which has just been reissued by @mergerecords.bsky.social. @theclientele.bsky.social youtu.be/l0VsQdSmQ9g

Lots of fun last night; disconcerted to be playing on top of Richard Nichols grave; walk on music by the great Eberhard Weber; there actually was a St Pancras; ah the French champagnes…. Thank you all and see you tonight

A magical evening at Old St Pancras Church with beat nature poets @theclientele.bsky.social. I never clicked before how much Television there is in them.

A very moving and generous account of interactions with our music. And from a fellow suburban contrarian too, which makes it all the better.

What a terrible poker face
Long out-of-print in the UK and never before available on the format in North America, this reissue is accompanied the debut of a new Merge Records UK webstore, a brand new Clientele tee, and the official video for "House on Fire," resurrected from the enhanced CD issue of the album!
