January 6, 2009, 15 years ago
Weathermaker Music, the label owned by touring juggernauts CLUTCH, has inked a multi-year, multiple release North American deal with Sony/BMG owned RED Distribution. First on deck, slated for a February 17th release through the formidable alliance, is the new BAKERTON GROUP release entitled El Rojo.
Produced by Clutch and J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, MD, El Rojo will be the first full tilt release from THE BAKERTON GROUP, the psychedelic instrumental jazz-laden alter ego of Clutch (all four original Clutch members make up The Bakerton Group). In addition, Per Wiberg from OPETH was brought in to handle all piano, synth and keyboard duties on all 10 of El Rojo's tracks.
Tracklist for El Rojo: 'Time Horizon', 'Chancellor', 'Peruvian Airspace', 'Bien Classico', 'Life On Lars', 'M(f)HS', 'The Gigantowakhia', 'Work 'em', 'Last Orbit', 'Bill Proger's Galaxy'.
Listen to snippets of two tracks from El Rojo now: 'Bien Classico', 'Peruvian Airspace'.
The Bakerton Group will hit the road in support of El Rojo. Joining the group on the road will be RED FANG. Then as a special treat, Clutch will perform a full set and headline each night of the tour. This is your chance to see both The Bakerton Group and Clutch music performed live together!
