LABEL: Music On VinylVINYL RELEASE DATE: 7/6/2018ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1994VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP The opening notes of Melvins’ seventh full-length release have guitarist Buzz Os borne unwinding his guitar strings towards an inky sludge tuning, setting the stage for one of the Pacific Northwest legends’ heaviest efforts. Rowdy, Southern blues-metal send up “Revolve” may stand as one of the trio’s catchiest — and thus most popular — songs, but Stoner Witch is still profoundly weird in all the right places. From its gloom-moshed “Skweetis,” to the Spaghetti Western whistling passages of “Roadbull” to the Bud-spitting punk-strumental “Junebug,” there’s an inspired zaniness to the album that demands to be spun on repeat.
