Kelly and I caught Alasdair MacLean, from shared favorite the Clientele, at Union Hall for a solo show once a couple of years ago. We loved it, but his amazing finger-picking just wasn’t the same on an acoustic guitar and without shimmering reverb and vibrato. Here he plays the title track from the new Clientele album and a few older favorites, solo and electrified. Not to over-re-live XX Merge, but the Clientele were also among the best acts there. An early highlight for sure.
