The Violet Hour is the proper debut album by The Clientele, released in July 2003. Its title was taken from T. S. Eliot's poem, The Waste Land. All songs were written by The Clientele except for "Jamaican Rum Rhumba" (traditional, arranged by The Clientele). The US release features two bonus enhanced videos for "House on Fire" and the single "Reflections After Jane."
