From a seedy underworld of gothic malevolence and bad voodoo comes this, Clinic's long-awaited debut album. On Internal Wrangler, these four serious young conceptual post-punkers pull on their emergency-room overalls and go about dissecting the dark underbelly of rock history with a scalpel, sewing it back together in unique malformations. There are knowing references to the addled chug of the Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat, the acerbic eclecticism of the Beatles' White Album, and even a dark, serious nod to Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" on the creaking workout of "TK." But really, Internal Wrangler sounds like nothing else past or present--a 30-minute death-rattle of caustic, shrieking garage-punk, interspersed with murky funeral interludes and malevolent post-folk nursery rhymes--even a song called "Hippy Death Suite." Surely, this is a band to kill for. --Louis Pattison

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.
