Melvins drummer Dale Crover has released a new song titled “I Quit” featuring Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil.
The song comes from Crover's upcoming solo album, Glossolaliawhich will arrive on September 13 via Joyful Noise. Structured around oddly tuned riffs and simple drums, it’s a slab of grungy garage rock that’s ripe for a wild guest solo from Thayil.

“It’s about trying to control people and thinking you’re right about everything,” Crover said of the song via press release. “It’s in a tuning I call ‘Lazy Keith Richards.’ It starts in G, but you can only tune the A string to G. I thought it would be cool if Kim did a guitar solo on the song. That’s him after the second chorus.”
Glossolalia It features a couple more notable guests, including Tom Waits and Ty Segall, the latter of whom also provides some complementary guitar work.
Regarding having a solo outing outside of his other commitments with the band, Crover said it was “kind of like extra credit.”
The drummer, singer and songwriter is currently pulling double duty as the drummer for Redd Kross on their ongoing summer tour (get tickets) here) while opening those solo and acoustic shows. Later in August, Crover will head out for a series of headline dates in California under the Dale Crover Band banner with support from Rob Crow.
