The 10th album of Clinic's career, Wild in the Streets takes the current temperature of the nation in their own inimitable style. These dozen songs are marked by urgency, surreal wordplay and trademark wit. For a band determined to chart their own course, Clinic continue to push forward in new and unexpected ways.
Nearly 30 years since they first founded Clinic as a quartet, Blackburn and Hartley's chemistry remains as potent as it ever was, perhaps even more so. "We've known each other since school," says Blackburn. "Hartley was always interested in electronics and drum machines, even as a teenager. He's into rhythms, whether it's reggae and funk or more conventional guitar music, whereas I was always into songs and melodies. I think that's why Clinic works so well."
