Buzz Osborne, the enigmatic front man of The Melvins and legendary upsetter of the norm continues to excite and explore new ground with his first acoustic album- This Machine Kills Artists (Ipecac). As a fixture in the underground avant-garde music scene for 30 years, his resume is filled with classic albums and critical acclaim. Buzz is following his muse wherever it takes him these days after spending a lifetime crafting heavy and experimental music, and it was time for a change. Due out on June 3rd, Buzz explores the softer side of his spirit with no electric guitars or effects, and just good old six-string skills and his wry lyrical story-telling. We have heard the entire album and it promises to be something beyond just a “for fans” release. Check out this stream of ‘Dark Brown Teeth’ and look out for Buzz on his solo acoustic tour soon.
