Melvins drummer Dale Crover has released another new solo single, “Spoiled Daisies,” which features guest guitarwork from Ty Segall.
The track hails from Crover’s forthcoming third solo LP, Glossolalia, out September 13th via Joyful Noise. The singles so far have seen Crover in throwback garage-rock mode, with “Spoiled Daisies” following suit. It’s a catchy bit of guitar psych-pop, and the Segall feature — “a raging, psychedelic guitar solo,” in Crover’s words — is apt.
“This one is about a psychedelic mushroom trip gone wrong,” Crover said via a press release for the track. “You’re looking for spirituality through psychedelics but end up having a bad trip and are exiled from the Garden of Eden.”
Glossolalia touts some other notable guest features, including guest vocals from Tom Waits, guitarwork from Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil — which we heard on the prior single “I Quit” — as well as contributions from Rob Crow of Pinback and Dan Southwick, Crover’s bandmate in stoner-rock outfit Altamont.
Crover continues to balance a solo career — which he compares to “extra credit” — with multiple band commitments. He’s currently set to embark on a run of California headlining dates (billed as the Dale Crover Band) with support from Rob Crow, starting with an August 23rd gig in San Diego (get tickets here).
That solo band outing runs through the end of August, and then Crover will pull double duty as the drummer for Redd Kross on their Fall UK/European summer tour while opening those shows solo-acoustic.
