The Clientele are readying their fifth album, titled Bonfires on the Heath, according to a report in Pitchfork. The album is due out on Merge Records on October 6th.

The album sees the band going full circle, back to their beginning, according to Alasdair MacLean. They're even including the first song they ever wrote, titled Graven Wood. The influences are similiar to where they started, focusing on folk sounds.

"... I was volunteering at park in South London and it was a beautiful Indian summer day and every leaf was reflecting the light. Right then, I had this moment of complete unreality. It gave me this veneer of distance and added to the sense of not really being there.

It's like how the Clientele are a ghost band because everything we do is through this pop-art lens. We won't play a folk song, we'll play a Peter Blake painting of a folk song. After that day in the park, I went home and wrote six or seven songs, all of which are on the record," said Alasdair when speaking to Pitchfork.
