King BUZZO, the iconic Melvins’ singer and guitar player, returns
with his second solo album, Gift of Sacrifice, on May 15 via Ipecac
Recordings. The nine-song release finds Buzz Osborne joined by
longtime friend and Mr. Bungle bass player TREVOR DUNN. The
collection’s first single, “Science in Modern America”
(http://smarturl.it/kingbuzzo [http://smarturl.it/kingbuzzo]) can be
heard now. Album pre-orders, available as the same link, include CD,
black vinyl, a limited edition hot pink variant available exclusively
via the Ipecac webstore as well as a tour only, opaque tangerine vinyl
version.
“Gift of Sacrifice was a stone groove to record and it will be a
f*cking blast to finally hit the road with my buddy Trevor Dunn,”
says Osborne. “Once we take the stage, I guarantee we’ll kick the
crap out of this album.” Dunn and Osborne have worked together
several times in the past, both as members of Fantômas and with Dunn
performing in the Melvins Lite iteration of the long-running,
legendary band.
Osborne released his solo debut, This Machine Kills Artists, in 2014.
Consequence of Sound said the album is “the negative bizarre Dylan
Goes Electric,” adding “”Osborne’s jump across the
electric/acoustic tracks succeeds much the way Dylan’s did: by
keeping the strengths while adjusting the settings.” Pitchfork
succinctly dubbed the collection “a refreshing breath of unplugged
f*ck-it-all folk.”
