Melvins’ Dale Crover Enlists Tom Waits, Kim Thayil For New Solo LP
Melvins drummer Dale Crover has enlisted a host of well-known friends for his third solo album, Glossolalia, which will be released Sept. 13 through Joyful Noise Recordings. The project features a spoken-word intro by Tom Waits on its title track and lead guitar contributions by Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil on “I Quit” and “Rings.”
Also dropping by on Glossolalia are Ty Segall, who plays lead guitar on “Spoiled Daisies” and “I Waited Forever,” and Pinback’s Rob Crow, who contributes to three songs. Longtime collaborator Dan Southwick also adds guitar to two tunes. The lead track “Doug Yuletide” is out today in tandem with a video directed by Alicia Kasai.
