Formed in 1997 after the demise of Pure Morning, Clinic quickly gained recognition with their debut single 'IPC Subeditors Dictate Our Youth' making BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel's end-of-year Festive Fifty. Their debut album 'Internal Wrangler' featured the track 'Second Line', which caught attention as it was used in a Levi's jeans TV ad. The band made an appearance on The David Letterman Show in the US with their sophomore album's hit song 'Walking With Thee'. Notably, their track 'Come Into Our Room' from the same album was featured in episodes of both US shows CSI and The O.C., while 'If You Could Read Your Mind' from their fourth album appeared in the film 'Hallam Foe'.

Clinic is known for their unique stage presence, often performing live wearing medical scrubs and surgical masks that hide their faces.

The band consists of Jonathan Hartley, Ade Blackburn, Brian Campbell & Carl Turner. They have been compared to artists such as Liars, Electrelane, Crystal Stilts, and The Beta Band among others.

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Referencing H.G. Wells’ Things to Come, Marshall McLuhan’s The Medium is the Massage and Sombrero Fallout by Richard Brautigan, the themes Clinic explore on Fantasy Island are time, music and entertainment. In a (coco) nutshell, Clinic have gone funky disco, broadening their sonic palette with the addition of several new gadgets including an electronic acid bass machine, a 1970s cocktail rhythm unit, a Casio digital horn and space drum.
