The Clientele/ Bonfires on the Heath

Really beautiful, atmospheric dream pop. The music still retains a bit of the Clientele’s “fuzzy” edge but there are clear bursts of guitars, bells, organs, piano, strings, and horns that lend a brightness to the melodies that really become art in one’s imagination. RIYD: Brian Eno, Sufjan Stevens, Radiohead, Camera Obscura, Trembling Blue Stars
