Clinic

Clinic is an English rock band recognized for their distinct indie, post-punk revival, and neo-psychedelia sound, continuously evolving their musical landscape. After signing with Domino Records in 1999, Clinic released their acclaimed debut album ‘Internal Wrangler’ in 2000. The album quickly gained significant critical attention, including being voted Number 9 in Pitchfork’s best albums of the year. Its single ‘The Second Line’ garnered notable exposure through a Levi’s jeans television advertisement.

During this period, the band made a notable appearance performing with John Cale at his ‘Velvet Underground and Nico’ LP show in 2016, before returning triumphantly in 2019 with the album ‘Wheeltappers and Shunters’. Most recently, Clinic unveiled their latest album, ‘Fantasy Island,’ in 2021, which continued to explore an expanded sonic palette incorporating electronic elements. Throughout their career, Clinic has cultivated a distinctive visual style, performing in surgical masks and unique outfits in concerts and press photos—an aesthetic homage to bands like Crime and The Residents. This blend of visual artistry and continuous musical evolution, from garage rock roots to electronic-infused offerings, demonstrates Clinic’s unwavering commitment to creative exploration and their ability to maintain a loyal following while attracting new listeners.
