Melvin’s fans might want to pay attention….
Buzz Osborne, helmsman of the Melvins for thirty plus years, releases his debut solo full-length album, This Machine Kills Artists, on June 2 via Ipecac Recordings.
“I have no interest in sounding like a crappy version of James Taylor or a half-assed version of Woody Guthrie,” said Buzz Osborne about the 17-song offering, continuing, “which is what happens when almost every rock and roller straps on an acoustic guitar. No thanks… This Machine Kills Artists is a different kind of animal.”
Osborne is currently touring for the first time as a solo artist, wrapping up a three-week trek across the USA. Let’s hope he makes it over to the UK and continental Europe soon too!
