King Buzzo has released a solo acoustic album. The same King Buzzo, who represented noise, punk and grunge for 31 years as a member of The Melvins. And yet, here also lie the roots of his acoustic work: The Melvins’s songs were created on Buzzo’s acoustic guitar. The logical consequence of this is that even now, what comes out of that instrument in no compliant folk, but rather an acoustic album of singular strength and energy.

„I have no interest in sounding like a crappy version of James Taylor or a half-assed version of Woody Guthrie, which is what happens when almost every rock and roller straps on an acoustic guitar.“
