#08018 Elbow

Elbow – The Seldom Seen Kid

UK: 17th Mar – Fiction
 
Elbow had been together for 14 years, but this is only the 4th album for them. Their miserable early career built a basic for later setimental feeling. The Seldom Seen Kid sees their first for Fiction after three albums out on V2. If you in a bad mood that this album is not your choice.
 
Outstanding track: ‘One Day Like This’.

#08017 Clinic

Clinic – Do It!

UK: 7th Apr – Domino
US: 8th Apr – Domino
 
5th album from the mysterious Clinic, in the frequency of releasing an album every two year. You could have messed all four of their previous albums, as they are so similiar in a Clinic style, but this time you’ll be surprised that the new one is so unique, emotional and sometimes still psychedlica. Just do it!
 
Outstanding track: ‘Free Not Free’.
