Clutch: another new song available for streaming
a new song from veteran Maryland rock quartet Clutch entitled "Minotaur" is available for streaming at this location. The track comes off the band's ninth studio album, titled "Strange Cousins From the West", which will be available both digitally and through retail on July 7. Produced by Clutch and J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, the effort is the first Clutch studio Lp to be released on the band's own Weathermaker Music, through Red Distribution. The "50,000 Unstoppable Watts" video will be officially released prior to Memorial Day weekend."Strange Cousins From the West" includes the Poppo'S Blues Band cover song "Algo Ha Cambiado", which Clutch vocalist Neil Fallon sings in Spanish. Poppo was a legendary Argentinian hard rock singer/guitarist throughout the '70s and '80s.
The title "Strange Cousins From the West" was taken from a line in the song "Minotaur".
Although Clutch has toured the world extensively over the past two years and released multiple Clutch-related projects, "Strange Cousins..." is the band's first original studio work since 2007's "From Beale Street to Oblivion" which featured the hit "Electric Worry".
