Clutch - Robot Hive / Exodus (Gold & Silver Vinyl 2LP + 7", Signed Insert)

Clutch let the blues dig deeper on Robot Hive / Exodus, adding a warm keyboard presence to their tightly locked riffs and rolling grooves. Mick Schauer's Hammond organ, clavinet and electric piano broaden the band's sound without softening its punch, while Neil Fallon's unmistakable delivery turns the everyday and the improbable into equally convincing stories. From “Burning Beard” to “10001110101”, it is heavy rock with swing, character and room to roam.

Formed in Germantown, Maryland, in 1991, Clutch built their reputation through relentless touring and records including their self-titled album and Blast Tyrant. Originally released in 2005, their seventh studio album was produced by the band and J. Robbins, bringing their blues roots further forward alongside Schauer's arrival. This 2022 remastered reissue is the second instalment in the Clutch Collector's Series, curated by bassist Dan Maines. It pairs gold and silver metallic 180-gram LPs with a bonus 7-inch featuring two tracks recorded during the album sessions, plus a numbered autographed insert.
