The Clean

This week in Indie Basement: reviews of new albums from The Innocence Mission's Karen Peris, Prince Rama's Taraka Larson, and Gustaf, plus reissues from The Clean, The Charlatans and Glaxo Babies

Fiddlehead discuss how Magazine, The Clean, Sebadoh, Guided by Voices and more influenced their new album Between The Richness.

From shoegaze to Madchester, pop and hip hop, Sonic Youth to Cocteau Twins, it's Indie Basement's Top albums of 1990.

The New Zealand vets, which includes Robert Scott of The Clean, release their 10th album in November via Flying Nun.

Watch David Kilgour's new surfing-themed video for ”Looks Like I'm Running Out” from upcoming album ’Bobbie's a Girl.’

’Bobbie's a girl’ is The Clean frontman's first solo album in five years.

This week in the Indie Basement we've got the new solo album from The Clean's Hamish Kilgour; French artist (and former Melody's Echo Chamber bandmember) Halo Maud; a new '50s exotica compilation from The Numero Group; balaeric pop from Australia; and debauched party rock from Warmduscher (featuring members of Fat White Family and Childhood).

Spiral Stairs' will play SXSW, then West Coast dates in April, and the rest of the country later in the year.

Sharon Van Etten is a big fan and encouraged them to do this tour.

Clean frontman David Kilgour's terrific 1994 solo album Sugar Mouth is bright jangly guitar pop at its best. The record never got a U.S. release but that will change soon as Flying Nun is reissuing it March 18 in America and the rest of the world...
