Melvins have announced their new album.
’Working With God’ is scheduled to arrive on February 26 via Ipecac Records, marking the second release from the 1983 iteration of the band — Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and original drummer Mike Dillard.
The follow-up to 2013’s ’Tres Cabrones’ will land alongside vinyl reissues of 2002’s ’Hostile Ambient Takeover’ and 1987’s ’Gluey Porch Treatments’.
As a preview, the band have dropped a pair of singles, Bouncing Rick and I Fuck Around. The former is a rapid and riotous punk track written about Osborne and Dillard’s biology teacher, and the latter is an aggressive reinterpretation of the Beach Boys classic I Get Around.
Osborne, who put out his second solo LP ’Gift of Sacrifice’ in May, said: "It’s reflective of our 8th grade sense of humour, which we’ve never grown out of. We hope Brian Wilson doesn’t get mad."
’Working With God’ tracklist:
1. I Fuck Around
2. Negative No No
3. Bouncing Rick

5. 1 Brian, The Horse-Faced Goon
