About Clean George IV
"an orgy of bombastic riffs and gonzo sloganeering" Q magazine "wonky narco-pop from excellently named band" Kerrang "absurd glam" NME "genre pulverising melting pot of post-punk, prog tinged, krautrock bothering, intelligent glam rock" Clash magazine "a record that is as in thrall to your more prosaic Fall line-up as it is to the ostentatious ELO long-player" The Quietus "excellent" CMU daily "an emergent force to be reckoned with" The Stool Pigeon "improbably thrilling" NME.com "bulging with ideas and slapping genres with glee, stupidly fun and subtly intelligent" The Skinny Clean George IV is George McFall, a man from Edinburgh, and friends. Initially releasing singles 'First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women' and 'Wasted on the Radio' in 2007 on Edinburgh label Blackspring. Both singles were played a bit on radio 1 and bbc 6 making several end of year lists and earning the band a Maida Vale session for Huw Stevens. At this time they started recording an album which was temporarily abandoned as the band became inactive due to various factors, mostly geographical. The album ('God Save The Clean') was eventually finished and released in 2012 on Tenement Records, a label set up by George and Aberfeldy's Riley Briggs. The album was well received critically, earning a place on the NME's most underrated albums of the year list and receiving some radio play for the singles 'Pets in the Blitz' and 'Cecilia'. George is currently releasing singles under the condensed CGIV moniker.
