“At the Bell House Monday night, the substitution of their scrubs for dashikis, then paired with the trademark masks, might have suggest a wacky vibe, but the band revealed a mellower sound when providing a preview of their new album, Bubblegum, slated for release in October. While still worlds away from bland, the gentleness of first single “I’m Aware” is a departure from the fast-paced post punk mantras and quirky keyboard sounds that they have long made their stock-in-trade. The slightly psychedelic hues of songs such as “Milk & Honey” and “Baby” were hinted at previously with cuts like “The Witch (Made to Measure)” (from 2008’s Do It!), but perhaps not the quiet dreaminess of “Linda,” which vocalist Ade Blackburn performed solo with an acoustic guitar.” [Agit Reader]

Though Clinic just tripled up on NYC in the past two weeks (Bell House, Joe’s Pub and Maxwell’s), the surgical masked Liverpool band have already planned their return in support of the new record. They’ll again visit the tri-state as part of a fall tour with with The Fresh & Onlys.

Tickets are on AmEx presale now and go on regular sale Friday (8/27) at noon for a November 2nd date at Bowery Ballroom followed by a November 3rd at Music Hall of Williamsburg.

The Fresh & Onlys have a new piece too, the Play It Strange LP due one week after Bubblegum (10/12) via In The Red Records. The band also has the new Impending Doom 7″ out now via Agitated Records.
