Clint

Clint are a Madrid-based four-piece who create soulful, melancholic songs of heart-broken beauty that have the rewarding depth of mysterious cold war celluloid, the texture of lusty lullabies, and the atmospheres of cool guy detectives or noir films etc... Alégrame el día is a thrilling and revelatory debut. It contains soul-searching and melodious songwriting with a very refined melancholia all imbued in well-crafted arrangements. In short this is a very seductive record, in total eight stirring and gloriously cinematic songs in the tradition of Ennio Morricone, Lalo Schifrin, Roy Budd, Quincy Jones, Bernard Herrmann, Hugo Montenegro or Nino Rota but closer to contemporary Calexico, Friends of Dean Martinez or Tindersticks. Clint inhabit some odd time warp between the '60s, '70s and the 21st century, creating music that is soft like smoke slowly drifting upward from the handgun barrel. We have found the perfect cohorts to create an elegant and unsettling collection of small mood pieces and bursts of jazz that stand miles apart from anything else you are likely to hear. You will succumb to Clint's affective and addictive beauty.
