The Clean : News



After an eight-year silence since their last opus Getaway, one of my most treasured bands of all-time The Clean are returning in September with what is only the fifth album of their stop-start 31-year "career". It is released on Merge, and is titled Mister Pop.

You can download an mp3 called "In the Dream Life You Need a Rubber Soul" here.

Here's a blast of classic Clean, from Unknown Country called "Twist Top".



P.S. Singer David Kilgour has released some damn fine solo stuff over the years, A Feather in the Engine (2001) probably being the high point thus far. His most recent album, a collaboration with poet Sam Hunt, Falling Debris came out in April and is streaming here.

Yes indeedy, I'd kill to see them in Dublin. Think they just look on "tours" as city-breaks though!
