Clash the Truth is the second studio album by American indie rock band Beach Fossils. It was produced by Ben Greenberg (formerly of The Men) and songwriter Dustin Payseur. It was released on February 18, 2013 through Captured Tracks.
Recording
Clash the Truth finished recording at the Excello Recording studio in the fall of 2012 after recording was interrupted when Payseur's studio was flooded during Hurricane Sandy.[3]
Clash the Truth featured new drummer Tommy Gardner, who allowed for a faster, more energetic sound than in previous releases.[3] It also features collaborations with Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead and Jack Tatum of Wild Nothing.[4]
