Clinic - You And I [Official Audio] | New Album 'Wild In The Streets' October 30 (2026)

The music scene is about to get a whole lot wilder with Clinic's upcoming release, “Wild In The Streets”. This album, their tenth studio creation, promises to be a unique and captivating journey into the world of art punk. With just Ade Blackburn and Jonathan Hartley at the helm, the band has crafted a sound that defies expectations and takes listeners on a zany adventure.

“We’ve always run in the opposite direction,” Blackburn shares, highlighting their creative approach. This album, a follow-up to their 2021 release “Fantasy Island,” showcases their penchant for exploring diverse musical influences. From exotica and its colorful percussion to dub reggae and early rock’n’roll, Clinic has drawn inspiration from a wide range of genres, creating a sound that is both immediate and propulsive.

One of the standout tracks, “You And I,” serves as a perfect teaser for the album. It’s a track that embodies the band’s unique blend of sounds, offering a glimpse into the strange and wonderful world they’ve crafted. Personally, I find it fascinating how they’ve managed to incorporate elements of “easy listening” music while still maintaining a distinct and edgy vibe. It’s a delicate balance, and Clinic has mastered it.

What makes this album even more intriguing is the band’s approach to song structure. They’ve taken the bold step of removing entire verses to create a sense of urgency and drive. It’s a creative choice that showcases their willingness to experiment and push boundaries. In my opinion, this is what sets truly innovative artists apart – their ability to challenge conventions and create something fresh.

“Wild In The Streets” is set for release on October 30th via Domino, and I, for one, can’t wait to dive into this musical adventure. With a tracklist that promises a diverse range of songs, from “Model Citizen” to “It’s A Pleasure,” it’s clear that Clinic has something special in store for us.

As a fan of music that dares to be different, I find Clinic’s journey fascinating. Their ability to draw from such a wide range of influences and create a cohesive sound is a testament to their talent and creativity. I’m excited to see how this album will shape the music landscape and inspire other artists to embrace their unique voices.

So, mark your calendars, music lovers! October 30th is the day to get “Wild In The Streets” with Clinic and embark on a musical journey like no other.
