English wisp-pop maestros the Clientele will bring their songs about girls, rain, and girls in the rain to their homeland, as they've scheduled a UK tour for this fall. (Yes, songs about rain should be quite appropriate in England in October.) The trek is in support of the UK release of latest mope-sterpiece God Save the Clientele, out October 1 on Track and Field. (It came out in May in the U.S. on Merge.)

As you know, the Clientele hit the North American road with Peter Bjorn and John and Marissa Nadler later this week. "Whistling banned in Clientele tour van," according to a MySpace post. Good call.
