Usually any 7" singles I buy get a couple of spins and are then consigned to a box, only occasionally dusted off for curiosity's sake. However, this split single from Matt Waldron and Somnimage boss Mykel Boyd is something special. All week I have been putting this on and getting lost in the unfortunately brief pieces.
Another day, another limited edition Melvins release. Even as a long time fan of Seattle's best band ever, the two covers featured on this 7" do little for me. Judging from the timing of this release, "Star Spangled Banner" is almost a political statement from a band not known for making any serious statements. Any fears of the Melvins becoming an "issues" band like U2 are unfounded based on this hammy release.
