Sometimes the songs get cannibalized as well, like one song will sort of eat the other, in a way. As we get closer to the recording process, we start to try to fix some of these parts and make them into songs. We'll do that for several months until we have a large pool of ideas to pull from. We work on one or two parts at a time, and often we set those parts aside and work on something new. It's really just the four of us getting together and banging out jams, so to speak. So there's more diversity, I think."Īsked about the creative process in CLUTCH, Jean-Paul Gaster said: "The creative process really hasn't changed all that much. There's stuff that is a little funkier, and there's other stuff that's a little more bluesy. We wrote it pretty quickly after 'Earth Rocker', so we were, kind of, still in that headspace."ĬLUTCH drummer Jean-Paul Gaster told The Aquarian Weekly: "There are some similarities in regards to 'Earth Rocker', and there are some songs on it that are sort of familiar, but we did some different stuff, too.
Regarding the musical direction of "Psychic Warfare", Fallon said: "It's probably faster than 'Earth Rocker'. That was the environment that brought out 'A Quick Death In Texas' - and the locals." I got spooked out because I come from the East Coast and the suburbs and I was out in the woods. He explained: "I was staying in a kind of unique, maybe 100-year-old property, by myself. On this record, 'X-Ray Visions' certainly is."įallon added that the secluded studio location was the inspiration for the song "A Quick Death In Texas". On 'Earth Rocker', 'Crucial Velocity' was definitely a Philip K.
Neil said: " general philosophy and questions have always crept into my lyrics, because I share an interest in it. Dick, the science fiction author whose 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" was the basis for "Blade Runner". He is hiding from several nefarious psychic forces, the worst of which is his own sleep-deprived paranoia."Īccording to Fallon, the "X-Ray Visions" lyrical concept was influenced by Philip K. "It's a tale about an unnamed protagonist who is forced to seek refuge in a flop house motel. "The title 'Psychic Warfare' is taken from the track 'X-Ray Visions'," states singer Neil Fallon.
The CD was helmed by CLUTCH's longtime producer Machine ( LAMB OF GOD, EVERY TIME I DIE) and consists of 12 new tracks. "X-Ray Visions" is the first single from "Psychic Warfare", which will be released on October 2 via the band's own label Weathermaker Music. Sirius XM's Liquid Metal ( Sirius XM channel 40) will premiere the audio track of "X-Ray Visions" throughout its programming from July 29 to July 31.
