THE MELVINS' FIRST DOUBLE ALBUM, BIPOLAR AND TORMENTED, INVITES US ON A DARK JOURNEY FULL OF SURPRISES
The Melvins deliver their first double album, A Walk With Love And Death. Through this release, the trio of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover, and Steven McDonald show two sides of their music: Death, a purely Melvins production, and Love, produced by Jesse Nieminen and self-produced, which together form the album A Walk With Love And Death. "It was a vast project," explains band leader Buzz Osborne. "The three things: the album, the soundtrack, and the film are references for us." Drummer Dale Crover adds, "A Walk With Love And Death is a long, dark, psychotic, and moody journey! Not for the faint of heart. You'll sleep with the lights on after listening to it." The two albums, which include collaborations with Joey Santiago of the Pixies, Teri Gender Bender (Le Butcherettes, Crystal Fairy), and Anna Waronker (That Dog), were co-produced by Toshi Kasai.
