THE MELVINS SHARE “1 FUCK YOU” FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM “WORKING WITH GOD”
...it’s the kind of noise-sludge-punk amalgamation you’d expect from the early Melvins lineup…” - Consequence of Sound
RELEASING FEB. 26th, IPECAC RECORDINGS
The Melvins have released one last taste of their upcoming Melvins 1983 release, Working With God (Feb. 26,Ipecac Recordings), releasing the song “1 Fuck You” – an ode to the American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. Buzz says “Why haven’t we recorded this song before now? It says it all. Nilsson was a genius!!” This song is not the only tribute piece across the album, “I Fuck Around” being a re-imagined cover of The Beach Boys – can you spot anymore?
Working With God features the 1983 iteration of the Melvins: Osborne, Crover, and original drummer Mike Dillard. The 13-song release has seen a number of single releases: “I Fuck Around” (a re-imagined cover of The Beach Boys’ “I Get Around” – ) with “Bouncing Rick,” “Caddy Daddy,” “Brian, The Horse-Faced Goon,” and “The Great Good Place.”
“Has ties to the heavier side of their 90s major label stint, but the majority of it beams with surf rock, twisted doo-wop, demented children’s music and lots of fucking around as one might expect.” – Metal Hammer
