There are many musical partnerships that should be celebrated - Buzz Osborne and Trevor Dunn were first introduced by Mike Patton when they were brought together to record the debut Fantômas album. Since then the pair have collaborated many times including Melvins lite.
King Buzzo now returns with his second solo album, Gift of Sacrifice, on May 15th via Ipecac Recordings. The nine-song release finds Buzz joined again by longtime friend and bass player Trevor Dunn.
The collection’s first single, Science in Modern America can be heard now. Album pre-orders include CD, black vinyl, a limited edition hot pink variant available exclusively via the Ipecac webstore as well as a tour only, opaque tangerine vinyl version.
“Gift of Sacrifice was a stone groove to record and it will be a f*cking blast to finally hit the road with my buddy Trevor Dunn,” says Osborne. “Once we take the stage, I guarantee we’ll kick the crap out of this album.”
Gift of Sacrifice’s arrival will be met with an eight-week North American tour, seeing Osborne & Dunn traversing the continent with a May 13th launch in Palm Springs, Calif.
