KING BUZZO DEBUTS NEW SINGLE "DELAYED CLARITY"

GIFT OF SACRIFICE ARRIVES ON AUG. 14

“... the musical pioneer is still hungry to find new sounds” – Rolling Stone

“Equally unsettling and satisfying. The best thing to do is simply lose yourself in the peculiarities of two eccentric minds locked together on an unpredictable journey.” – Prog

“He sings as if possessed by the spirit of prime Ozzy. This seven-track album has a similar stripped down, raw feel to its acoustics and shivery spooked vocals: experimental in places, the way is all laid so bare on the torched Junkie Jesus, mesmeric and with severe mantra-like properties in the beautiful buzzed guitar sound of Bird Animal, even a nod to White Album-era Beatles.” – Classic Rock

July 29, 2020, LOS ANGELES – King Buzzo, the venerable Melvins’ frontman, shares the final preview track “Delayed Clarity" (https://lnk.to/KingBuzzo) from his forthcoming release, Gift of Sacrifice (Aug. 14, Ipecac Recordings).

The nine-song album finds Buzz Osborne joined by longtime friend and Mr. Bungle bass player Trevor Dunn. Gift of Sacrifice follows King Buzzo's solo debut, This Machine Kills Artists (2014). Consequence of Sound said the album is “the negative bizarre Dylan Goes Electric,” adding “”Osborne’s jump across the electric/acoustic tracks succeeds much the way Dylan’s did: by keeping the strengths while adjusting the settings.” Pitchfork succinctly dubbed the collection “a refreshing breath of unplugged f**k-it-all folk.”
