The Elephant Riders

Clutch

Thick, blues-drenched riffs meet a rhythm section that actually swings. A surrealist tour through alternate American history and backwoods folklore.

April 14, 1998 · Columbia

A swaggering, intellectual confidence that finds magic in the dirt and history in the hallucinations.

Moments Worth Listening For
The syncopated drum breakdown in 'The Soapmakers' where the rhythm section mimics a mechanical assembly line.
The transition into the hidden track 'David Rose' where the heavy riffs dissolve into a lounge-inflected jazz excursion.
The eerie, quiet vocal delivery during the opening of 'The Yeti' before the massive fuzz-drenched riff drops in.
