One Inch Man is a song by American rock band Kyuss. It is the first and only single from their fourth and final album ...And the Circus Leaves Town, released in 1995.
Music & Media, in a review of the album, ...And the Circus Leaves Town, stated of the song "Perhaps their abilities are best summarised in the first single "One Inch Man", which boasts a killer guitar riff and hook to match."[3]
In a 2015 retrospective review of the album, The Quietus stated that ""One Inch Man" still stands tall today as a track worthy of the now-lauded Kyuss name."[4]
In a 2020 interview with Louder Sound, Louise Lemón said of "One Inch Man", "The repetitiveness is what gets me going with this track. When I write, I usually write just one or two sentences and I could be fine with that. I love everything that is repetitive, like a mantra, it soothes."[5]
Kerrang! said of the music video for "One Inch Man": "Case in point: the clip for "One Inch Man" from ...Circus simply shows the band playing in the desert and in a room under psychedelic lights. No glitz, no glamour, but by God they were the band you wanted to have a beer with."[6]
