The Melvins’ lead vocalist Buzz Osborne will be releasing a new album, This Machine Kills Artists, on June 3 via Ipecac Records. It is Osborne’s debut solo album.

The album features stripped-down, acoustic music, a different sound from the music of The Melvins, who just put out an album last year. However, Osborne says, “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. No thanks.”

He is currently wrapping up his first-ever solo tour, including a stop at SXSW 2014, but will begin an extensive tour of North America in June. To get a peek at what the new album will be like, listen to the lead track, “Dark Brown Teeth.”
