2025 is proving to be the year of The Inspector Cluzo, the Gascon organic farmers duo released to critical acclaim the tenth studio album Less Is More. The album launch was followed by 7 European dates opening for the legendary musician Neil Young and a full US/Canada tour as special guest to Clutch. And the band is not stopping here, The Inspector Cluzo are set to release a new single Thoreau and tour across Europe for the remaining part of 2025.

The new single Thoreau, due out on 3^rd September via F. The Bass Player Records/Virgin UK International, is accompanied by a music video, filmed by director Lorenzo de la Maza in their farm and own pond. The song deals with the philosophy of US naturalist D.H Thoreau, author of Walden, that the farmers apply in their daily life throughout both of their businesses: the farm and their approach to music.

The band remains self-financed and independent, in fact, the band has its own label and management company and have turned down plenty of big corporations offers due to their Ecologic convictions.

Furthermore, the band will embark on a full headline EU/UK tour from September all the way to January 2026, with thirty-nine shows to celebrating and defending their latest effort Less Is More.

The Less Is More Tour has and will continue to further cement the duo’s reputation as one of the hardest working touring bands in contemporary music – visiting USA, Canada and Europe – performing alongside Clutch and now – Neil Young.

Throughout their career The Inspector Cluzo played over 1300 shows in 67 countries, they have completed a sold-out USA support tours with Clutch and Eels in 2019, alongside a host of festival appearances across the globe (including Lollapalooza Chile and Brazil) and a Maiden US headline tour.

“Beau et Savage” (Wild and Beautiful) – Rolling Stone France Album Of the Month

“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 review of Less Is More

“The sound is powerful, hard, perfectly calibrated between hard rock and rock blues.” 

 Classic Rock Italy review of Less Is More

The Inspector Cluzo’s 10th LP Less Is More is out now via F. The Bass Player Records/Virgin UK International.

The band’s 10^th 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 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 make a huge sound.

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.
