AA-S Best Bet – Clinic:
If you’re not current on your indie rock vaccinations, then you should probably consult the Liverpool-based four-piece Clinic for a stout shot of hypnotic rhythms and melodies. For more than 10 years Clinic has been shape-shifting, evolving and slowly honing their trademark shoegaze drone-pop, which shines evident on the group’s fifth and latest LP, “Do It!”
Clinic’s influences take flight on “Do It!” with pepperings of Phil Spector-esque girl-pop, Morricone film scores and even punk rock — lending all the necessary immunities for you to attend tonight’s show and stave off a bad time.
