The Inspector Cluzo will release their 10th studio album, Less is More set to release on June 6. Less is More was recorded with long-time producing partner Vance Powell (The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys, Seasick Steve) in Nashville in 2024. The album was recorded completely live in four days and mixed in three. Powell succeeded in capturing the band’s organic live energy which has made the band such a live tour de force.
The album's concept and lyrics are inspired by the works of Henry David Thoreau and Guy Debord and addresses the band's genuine concerns about post-growth and post-growth culture—a theory centered on the idea that finite resources like land, materials, and tools cannot support endless growth.
The band is deeply mindful of these issues and takes a holistic, self-aware approach to both their organic farm in France and their work within the music industry. They apply the same principles from farming to their music career, making intentional efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. The album is entirely self-financed, with the band choosing to remain independent by avoiding deals with major labels or hedge funds for touring, as they have done throughout their entire career.
In support of the new album, The Inspector Cluzo will embark on a worldwide tour, including several US dates with Clutch. All tour information and up-to-date news can be found at theinspectorcluzo.com.
