People like Martin Denny and Les Baxter. Some of that stuff is amazing. For what was often considered easy listening music, it has some very strange undercurrents. We’ve also been listening to dub reggae and things like Cabaret Voltaire. And a lot of early rock‘n’roll, for that immediacy. For many of these songs, we wanted an extra sense of propulsion, so we’d sometimes take out a whole verse to push it along.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndeed, most songs on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWild In The Streets\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e dip under three minutes, and the record throws up surprises on a regular basis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe performative theme nodded to on “You and I” is echoed in the vampy, disorienting “Well Wisher,” with its references to spotlights, laser beams, and jumping aboard the merry-go-round. Elsewhere, the title track offers a vivid portrait of youthful days in suburbia, a feral existence filtered through personal recollection, while the dynamic “Back to Nature” is an allusive discourse on modern-day protest action. The nervy, Suicide-ish “Model Citizen” is another album highlight.  A tale of deceit, cardboard cut-outs in the shops, and hollow political promise, it’s underpinned (as with most things \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eClinic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) by a playful sense of the absurd. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e“We just wanted to do something in a funnier, Kinks type of way,”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Blackburn says. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Like a character study.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNearly 30 years since they first founded \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eClinic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as a quartet, Blackburn and Hartley’s chemistry remains as potent as it ever was, perhaps even more so. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e“We’ve known each other since school,”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e says Blackburn. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Hartley was always interested in electronics and drum machines, even as a teenager.
