 (4 Customer Reviews)
From the band that's been invited by Radiohead to support their European Tour, Clinic's debut album 'Internal Wrangler' fleshes out the sound the group crafted on their self-released EPs and adds a few new twists. These songs concentrate on the experimental yet accessible sides of Clinic's sound. 'Internal Wrangler' is a strong debut from one of England's most promising and distinctive indie bands. Clinic's has also received 2 NME 'Singles Of The Week'! A Domino release.
Although there is much to admire, the real highlight of Clinic's INTERNAL WRANGLER is the voice of lead singer Ade Blackburn. While he's been compared to everyone from Lou Reed to Radiohead's Thom Yorke, none of the comparisons manage to do him any real justice. Blackburn's voice sets Clinic apart from the endless slew of Britpop bands that seem to hit it big on a regular basis; while the guitar, bass, and drums on the record are all solid, it's his vocals that provide the "love it or hate it" element. Blackburn's lyrics are often terrifyingly bleak: at one point, he sings "you cannot know how often/ I've pictured you in coffins/ my baby in a coffin." At other junctures, as on the track "The Second Line," he doesn't even try to craft a tale and simply mutters and mumbles over the music. INTERNAL WRANGLER is also not beset by the need for slick production or glossy perfection; there are plenty of little mistakes here and there, but they only serve to humanize the record, and leave more room for experimentation.
Rolling Stone (8/16/01, p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...They've created a new hybrid of bratty garage rock and whimsical sonic experimentation that delights in its own mutant energy..."
Spin (10/01, pp.130-1) - 9 out of 10 - "...As humbly addictive as a good Hebrew National...Rewind to indie-rock the way Mark E. Smith started it: reduced, smart, and dirty-sweet as used bubblegum."
Alternative Press (2/02, p.64) - Ranked #5 in AP's "25 Best Albums of 2001" - "...Eminently listenable schizophrenia..."
Magnet (12-1/02, p.79) - "...Great is great no matter the source, and INTERNAL WRANGLER is little short of brilliant....easily the maddest hatters since Teardrop Explodes..."

Velvet Underground, Pixies, 13th floor elevadors, beats provided by Phil Spector. The greatest album I've heard in a long time.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Phil Spector meets The Pixies
If you experiment with your CD dollars only once this year...then do it with INTERNAL WRANGLER. I was loaned a copy of it by a friend who told me..."I know you are bored with the current 'alternative' scene, and that your looking for something that will blow your mind". They weren't kidding. I can not believe what a pleasant surprize this release was. It is stunning. Phil Spector meets The Pixies at CAVESTOMP 2001. It has luscious hooks. It has lo-fi. It has sci-fi. It has everything you've been waiting for since the death of good college radio a decade ago.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Pure Fantastic
This is one funky album. 30 minuted of indie, lo-fi, psychedelic rock that makes you wanna jump around and freak out. My favorite songs off this album are "Internal Wrangler", "Distortions" and "2/4".

Purchase Internal Wrangler CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Spoon Girls Can Tell CD (2001)
Internal Wrangler album
 $12.25    
GIRLS CAN TELL is the second release in two years from Texas-based Spoon, and they're on a roll. It follows the EP LOVE WAYS, and it's more mesmerizingly cerebral pop. Spoon are unafraid of pushing the envelope. The set opens with one of their best songs, "Everything Hits at Once." Its bleakly resonant lyrics dart ...

| | Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots CD (2002)
Internal Wrangler music CDs
$9.65
"Approaching Pavonis Mons By Balloon (Utopia Planitia)" won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
This limited edition includes a bonus DVD version of YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK
ROBOTS including the whole album in surround sound, videos and rare tracks.
Emerging sometime in the '80s, Oklahoma boys The Flaming Lips have held steady to a peripheral, but significant location in the indie-rock world, visionaries blessed with a hyper-keen pop sensibility. In 1999, four years removed from the surprise alterna-pop hit "She Don't Use Jelly," the trio fronted by the fetching, impelling whisper of Wayne Coyne hit a remarkably high note, making scores of year-end 'best of' lists with THE SOFT BULLETIN, a mellifluous, masterful slice of Brian Wilson-level pop distorted through a few looking glasses. Following an acclaimed album is always a craggy cliff of anticipation, but if BULLETIN was the Flaming Lips' PET SOUNDS, then the ethereal YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS may be their SMILEY SMILE, a record which skillfully straddles the line ...
| | Interpol Turn On The Bright Lights CD (2002)
Internal Wrangler songs
$9.95
To make music marked distinctly of a specific period that's somehow so compelling as to be timeless is no mean feat. Interpol initially sounds as if they must have been roaming about Manchester as the 1970s screamed to a close, yet they emerged across the ocean in New York City some two decades-plus later. Combining the insistent drone of Joy Division with the dreamy melodies of the Chameleons, the fire of Mission of Burma, and an occasional jagged edge a la The Fall, the foursome inconceivably manage to defy anachronism on their debut full-length TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS. Just how they do it is indefinable, perhaps it's just a trick of the light, or the life that breathes gloomily, radiantly throughout, but it's undeniable.
Vocals which fall somewhere between Ian Curtis's plaintive, ...
| | Clinic Winchester Cathedral CD (2004)
Internal Wrangler album
$14.05
Clinic's third full-length album capitalizes on the band's skill for mixing haunting, memorable melodies and surging rhythms into a chilly, keyboard-dominated post-punk sound. Lead singer Ade Blackburn's effects-drenched, angst-y vocals wend around snake-charmer clarinet melodies and distorted, wiry guitar on "The Magician." "Country Mile" and "Anne" are characterized by insistent tempos, but also feel architecturally minimal, while voices, effects, and instruments (a tambourine, most notably) create increasing tension in the expansive, moody atmosphere of the mix.
These attributes ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Internal Wrangler CD music
$11.89 
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, ...

Inventively fusing art-rock and world music together, C Cat Trance offers up fascinating tracks such as "Dreams of Leaving," "Hawkline Monster," and "Clawhammer Stomp" on this collection of 1980s material.
Following his departure from punk-funk outfit Medium Medium, singer Rees Lewis formed C Cat Trance. Noticeably different from Medium Medium in its instrumentation, the group still retained some of the density and intensity of Rees' former group, but went in ...

Internal Wrangler songs
$11.99
The third album by the mysterious Austin collective Attack Formation provides more of the bewildering same as their first two. We Are Alive in Tune is, at heart, a quirky electronic pop album, but there are so many cooks in this kitchen that shards of hip-hop, experimental sound collage, hardcore punk riffage, unexpectedly poppy indie rock, and just plain noise percolate through the tracks to the point that songs like "Black Magic" at times quite literally sound like ...
