Melvins drummer Dale Crover has dropped a new song titled “I Quit” featuring Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil.
The track hails from Crover’s forthcoming solo album, Glossolalia, arriving September 13th via Joyful Noise. Structured around odd-tuned riffs and simple, pocketed drums, it’s grungy slice of garage rock that is ripe for a wild guest solo from Thayil.
“It’s about trying to control people and thinking that you’re right about everything,” said Crover of the song via a press release. “It’s in a tuning that I call ‘Lazy Keith Richards.’ It opens in G, but you can only tune the A string to G. I thought it would be cool to get Kim to do a guitar solo on the track. That’s him after the second chorus.”

Glossolalia features a couple other notable guests such as Tom Waits and Ty Segall, the latter of whom provides some supplementary guitar-work, as well.
In regards to having a solo outlet outside of his other band committments, Crover said it was “kind of like extra credit.”
The drummer/singer/songwriter is currently pulling double duty as the drummer for Redd Kross on their ongoing summer tour (get tickets here) while opening those shows solo-acoustic. Later in August, Crover will then head out for a run of California headlining dates under the Dale Crover Band billing with support from Rob Crow.
