Clinic
Clinic epitomizes what I love about British indie rock, a band that pushes the envelope musically while somehow remaining addictive as hell. They are also smart enough not to take themselves too seriously. The lyrics on "The Second Line" are a mess of nonsense that I found myself singing along to just the same as the song pulsed along, while "Distortions" is a gorgeously plaintive ballad accompanied by synthesizer and just a touch of unsettling strings. I defy you not to bop along to the organ in "2nd Foot Stomp." Not too shabby for a debut album, and I'm sure touring with Radiohead didn't hurt their reputation any either.
