Side A (Lacewings)
Side B (6AM Morningside)
Falling in line again with the Autumnal posts are two shadowy tracks from The Clientele circa September '99 . These are the types of songs that leave me wondering if anyone else can recognize the subtle gorgeousness, or if I am just bonkers for obsessing over them. Warm evening sunlight rays flicker on a wooden front porch --or in this case transparent lacewings swarm a crescent moon. Beatlesesque vocals meet a haunting Santo & Johnny sluggish steel guitar on the A side. The B side is chock full of the stuff that the best indie pop is made of: Brevity, Cathedral bells, Sunsets, Adoration, Open Windows...
Is it just me, or does it sound like these songs were penned while sleepwalking in a foggy cornfield right before the harvest, around 6AM?
