Liverpool art-punks Clinic are getting ready to drop their long-awaited third full-length album, tentatively titled Winchester Cathedral, on Domino Records. The disc is due out August 23.
Just weeks after finishing a U.S. tour, the band has announced a new round of North American dates to follow the album release. Beginning October 13 in Philadelphia, the surgically masked band will do at least 15 dates before wrapping November 9 in Boston.
News of the album began surfacing early in 2003, when "tape operator"
Erasmus Benedict reported on the proceedings. "There's an overall deranged party feel to the music broken up by several mellow Bread freak outs,"
Benedict said. "A marked shift from the darker character of
Walking With Thee."
Although Domino's Web site reported that the album was finished in August, and initially planned for an April release, it appears the disc has been pushed back until the end of summer.
