The Inspector Cluzo: Fuck the bass player
'Fuck the bass player', the first single taken from French outfit The Inspector Cluzo released June 8th, is a rhythmical groove-fest of white boy soul mixed with tongue in cheek lyrics and it's on a mission to lighten up your day in two and a half minutes flat.
Released through Ter a Terre Records, and mastered at La Source in Paris,The Inspector Cluzo's Laurent Lacrouts and Mathieu Jourdain reeled in Norwood Fisher from the American ska band Fishbone to provide some of the most amusing vocals you will hear this year.
The title says it all. What happens when you're in a band and unfortunate enough to play bass? Well, you're fucked, that's what. Fisher's deep and resonating voice offers us an insight into the supposedly sad life of a lone bass player, destined never to score with the ladies. Guitar, drum and additional vocals are provide by The Inspector Cluzo themselves with real flair and originality. With influences ranging from Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Curtis Mayfield, the track never fails to keep you tapping those beats or grinning from ear to ear.
