  The Clientele refine their hazy, dreamlike sound into something richer and more emotionally detailed here. Alasdair MacLean’s songwriting captures fleeting urban loneliness through tiny observations and softly glowing melodies. Songs drift gently, but the arrangements are remarkably intricate underneath the surface. The album feels suspended between memory and immediate experience. Even its prettiest moments carry subtle melancholy. It’s chamber-pop that feels genuinely haunted.
