Walking with Thee, the second album from Liverpool's surgical-mask-wearing oddballs Clinic, came out on Domino on 25 February 2002 as the follow-up to Internal Wrangler. Ben Hillier produced it, and the band is the founding four: Ade Blackburn singing and wheezing on melodica, Jonathan Hartley on guitar, keys and clarinet, Brian Campbell on bass and Carl Turney on drums.
It's neo-psychedelia with the lights switched off: Blackburn's strangled, half-swallowed vocals, droning keyboards and a rhythm section that locks into a hypnotic stomp and won't let go. Creepy, catchy and faintly ridiculous in the best way, it sounds like a garage band that wandered into a hospital basement and liked the acoustics. Rolling Stone put it among its 50 best albums of 2002, and it picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, losing out to Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head. Winchester Cathedral came next.
