With a new album (Working With God) and a couple of reissues just released there’s plenty to talk about with the Melvins’ Buzz Osborne.

The 13th Floor’s Marty Duda talks to Buzz Osborne about the “defiantly sophomoric” music that is the Melvins new album, Working With God.

MELVINS – WORKING WITH GOD

(album out 26 February 2021 through Ipecac Recordings/Liberator Music)

The Melvins have a busy month ahead of them, releasing a trio of albums via Ipecac Recordings/Liberator Music on Friday Feb 26: a new Melvins 1983 release named Working With God as well as a pair of vinyl reissues: Hostile Ambient Takeover and Gluey Porch Treatments. 

 

Working With God is the second release from the 1983 iteration of the band, which features Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and original drummer Mike Dillard. The trio’s previous release was the 2013 album, Tres Cabrones.

 

The band preview Working With God with a pair of singles: ‘I Fuck Around’ (a re-imagined cover of The Beach Boys’ ‘I Get Around’), and ‘Bouncing Rick’, a song about Buzz Osborne and Mike Dillard’s junior high biology teacher. The pair of songs can be heard here.

 

Commenting on ‘I Fuck Around’, Osborne 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.”

 

The slate of releases can be pre-ordered now (https://lnk.to/MelvinsWWG), with a selection of limited edition vinyl variants available. Working With God is available via digital, CD & standard black vinyl. Hostile Ambient Takeover, which sees its first ever vinyl release, is available on pink vinyl, while Gluey Porch Treatments is available on lime green vinyl.
