– Rolling Stone France Album Of the Month
"ragged yet tight, laser-focused riffage, roaring vocals and fiery attacks on the rampant materialism and screen-gazing habits endemic to today...Their live shows are brilliant, well worth catching..."
- Louder
"Two organic farmers from Gascony making an album ... that swaggers like a rough mix of The White Stripes and early Clutch. Inspired by naturalist Henry David Thoreau and philosopher Guy Debord, this extraordinary scream of social consciousness is the kind of record that will make the hairs at the back of your neck salute."
- Classic Rock UK
“The sound is powerful, hard, perfectly calibrated between hard rock and rock blues.”
- Classic Rock Italy
2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for The Inspector Cluzo. Earlier this year, the organic farming rock duo from Gascony released their critically acclaimed 10th studio album, Less Is More, earning praise from around the world. Hot on the heels of the album’s success, TIC joined the legendary Neil Young for seven European dates, followed by a North American tour as special guests of Clutch. Today, The Inspector Cluzo are thrilled to share their new single, Thoreau. The band will hit the road again for the remainder of the year, making stops across Europe and the UK. All tour dates and up to date information can be found at https://theinspectorcluzo.com.
The Inspector Cluzo’s 10th LP Less Is More is out now via F. The Bass Player Records/Virgin UK International.
The band's 10th album was once again recorded with Vance Powell (The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys, Seasick Steve) in Nashville in 2024. It was recorded completely live in four days and mixed in three. Powell succeeded in catching the band's tracksless, no-playback organic live energy which has made the band such a live tour de force. For a singing guitarist and a drummer, the band makes a huge sound.
The album deals with the band's very real concerns about Post-Growing that they apply at their organic Farm and also in the music business economy. Self-financed at 100% refusing to sign with any major or any hedge funds for touring. They mirror these farming principles in their dealings in the music business – such as making efforts to balance their carbon footprint.
From the discordant album opener "We Win Together I'm Losing Alone" (a call to arms for the whole album) to the epic "Almost Cut My Hair", from the heavy funk riff of "The Greenwashers" to the call to arms of "Workers" ("Workers of the world / Unite), this is an
album that perfectly showcases this band's unique vision. Innovative in their minimalism, a heaviness that belies their numbers and a fascinating lyrical vision.
