Taking equal cues from the Flying Nun school of arty guitar pop, classic British post-punk and otherwise Velvets-indebted rock,Chicagos Clearance mixes eras and styles with ease (you’re likely to hear as much Parquet Courts as the Soft Boys, for instance) and the result is a focused but coolly off-the-cuff sound that appeals to both the record-collector/fanzine set and casual rock fans alike. After a string of self-released 7″s and tapes began circulating in 2013, the band released its debut LP Rapid Rewards via Tall Pat Records and Unsatisfied Records, earning praise and topping many best-of lists upon its 2015 release. Are You Aware another 7″ released on Tall Pat followed in 2016. The band’s second LP, At Your Leisure, arrives July 2018 via Topshelf Records.
