What else is there to say but that the Clientele covered a beautiful song (by Shack) beautifully and released it on Bandcamp in the middle of a horrible year? So many of their songs offer a portal to another world, and it’s no different with this cover, either. The world of the Clientele features the following: swallows diving for insects above a big open grassy field at sunset; stars in the sky every night, always visible, always portentous; pleasant drizzling rain; empty—but not menacing—streets; elms, birches, willows; fallen leaves; winding forest paths. The band conveys all this usually through Alasdair Macleans’s lyrics, but even here, with a cover, they transmit their Clientele atmosphere through the music.
