The bands 10th album, “Less Is More”, was once again recorded with 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 catching the band tracksless, no-playback organic live energy which has made the band such a live tour de force. Echoing their work as organic farmers the band are intending to show that all TIC performances are played live, with no backing tracks, by using the stamp below – utilising a sign they hope to be adopted by musicians and bands worldwide. The Inspector Cluzo really is a truly organic live beast.
The concept of the album and all lyrics is inspired by Henry David Thoreau and Guy Debord.
Henry David Thoreau was a 19th century American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher – a leading transcendentalist known for his book “Walden” (one of the first ever ecologists and post growth theorists, the book is about his own experience living in solitude in a cabin in a forest for two years) and writer of “Civil Disobedience” (an argument in favour of citizen disobedience against an unjust state – a book that guided and informed both Martin Luther King and Gandhi).
Guy Debord was a famous 20th century French philosopher, best known for his 1967 essay “The Society Of the Spectacle”. Debord was deeply distressed by the hegemony of governments and media over everyday life through mass production, consumption and marketing, that was prophetic about the world we’re living in nowadays. “In a world which really is topsy-turvy, the true is a moment of the false.”
The album deals with the bands 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 principle’s in their dealings in the music business – such as making efforts to balance their carbon footprint.
The Inspector Cluzo’s 10th LP- «LESS IS MORE » Will Be Released on the 6th June 2025 via F.The Bass player records/Virgin UK International
