Melvins – Five Legged Dog

Description

The Melvins announce their most ambitious project yet: Five Legged Dog (Oct. 15, Ipecac Recordings), a 36-song newly recorded, acoustic collection featuring a career-spanning collection of songs, from 1987s Gluey Porch Treatments to 2017s A Walk With Love & Death, the entire gamut of the legendary bands catalogue is represented.

I knew I wanted to do something ridiculously big, explains Buzz Osborne of the bands first ever acoustic offering. 36 songs reimagined by us acoustically is certainly ridiculous but it works. The magic of the songs is still there regardless of it being acoustic. Since we werent touring we had the time to do something of this size. Im very excited about this record. Dale and Steven did a fantastic job on this. I think its a very special record. I cant think of anyone else whos done something like this.

Five Legged Dog also features acoustic versions of several rarities from the influential bands overflowing discography including a cover of Redd Kross Charlie (from the limited-edition Escape From LA single), Outside Chance, a Turtles cover from the Slithering Slaughter single and new interpretations of The Rolling Stones Sway, Brainiacs Flypaper, and Fred Neils Everybodys Talking (popularised by Harry Nilsson). Butthole Surfer Jeff Pinkus lends his vocals (and banjo) to Dont Forget to Breathe and Everybodys Talking.
