Album Notes & Community Reviews

Billed specifically as 'Melvins Lite', this iteration of the legendary sludge-rock group features Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover joined by Mr. Bungle's Trevor Dunn on stand-up bass. The trio format results in a stripped-down, weirdly jazzy, and highly experimental take on their signature heavy psych sound.

Genres

Descriptors: noisy, experimental, distorted, avant-garde, abrasive
