Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Clutch is an album by Peter Hammill, released on his Fie! label in 2002. Clutch contains 9 tracks played exclusively on acoustic guitar with accompaniments on saxophones and other instruments. The album was produced and played by Hammill himself, with contributions from Stuart Gordon on violin and David Jackson on flute and saxes. Clutch is widely considered a solid return to form after his erratic output in the late 80's and 90's. In the liner notes he states that even though the instrumentation is mostly acoustic, it is not a "folk" album. As usual a lot of the songs deal with dark subject matter and his vocals are quite intense in places. The liner notes say "the palate is limited, but the canvass is broad".
