British art rockers Clinic will return April 8 with their
fifth album, "Do It!." The Domino set was recorded in the
group's Liverpool studio and shifts to a more melodic
approach than was found on 2006's "Visitations."
Clinic frontman Ade Blackburn describes the album as a
"contrast between mellow and weirdness. We heavily
chopped up the song structures so they're not standard
verse/chorus," Blackburn tells Billboard.com. "It makes
the record hard to pin down and unpredictable."
"Do It!" was written and recorded "rather quickly," and
teaming up with Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Kings Of Leon)
for mixing duties "brought out a pop side" of the record.
"The end result is quite a surreal mixture," Blackburn
says. This stylistic melting pot most noticeably shows up
on "Corpus Christi," a song Blackburn describes as a "jug
band take on Can."
Clinic will tour the U.S. in May, and promises to expand
into show into two sets. The first will be "Do It!" in
its entirety, followed by a second set of older tunes.
"It's our Bruce Springsteen phase," Blackburn says.
