***Minotaur is a thirty-minute mini album featuring eight new tracks from THE CLIENTELE. Limited to one thousand copies, Minotaur includes a spoken word piece by JAMES HORNSEY and a first in The Clientele’s canon: track written by MARK KEEN. Following their most successful North American tour to date (during which they performed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon), The Clientele return to the US in September 2010 for a string of West Coast shows that begins with Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival. In October 2009, The Clientele’s Bonfires on the Heath was released on Merge Records. Pitchfork called it “an indian summer record if ever there was one, music for the dizzying strangeness of unseasonable warmth as the trees begin to brown and sweaters come out of storage.” (STREET DATE - 8/31/2010)
