Clinic, a quartet of Liverpool locals, has been in what seems like a battle for self discovery. Forget the critics, forget the fans, they are doing what every band should do, exploring their potential. With every new recording, a new side of Clinic is revealed. Although they still employ a few mastered techniques, specifically the organ, their sound has changed drastically since their debut album, Internal Wrangler.

In their fifth studio album, Do It!, Clinic displays a sound that would only seem natural—if created in a different era. What they have produced is a mix between garage band rock and shoe-gaze blues. The album is paired with undeniably catchy beats and vague and indiscriminate vocals. The result is a sound both superficial and extraordinarily fun. The synthetic beats seem surreal, almost too surreal. This generates a feeling similar to that of a dream, distant yet engaging. The album lacks the lyrical depth that I would have liked to hear, but makes up for it in beats, creating a sound that works. A sound that works very well.

Although the songs lack fluidity within themselves, I feel that the album flows with a specific intent. It was meant to be listened to in its predetermined succession. Listen wisely. Standout tracks "Tomorrow," "The Witch," and "Corpus Christi" are loaded with funk—and they simply rock.

In short, Do It! brings my ears much happiness. Clinic has taken yet another plunge into a new sound, and done so with success.
