King Buzzo with Trevor Dunn - "Science in Modern America"

For his second solo album, King Buzzo of The Melvins has enlisted Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas) to assist him and play bass. The first single off of the album, "Science in Modern America," is unlike any acoustic solo project you've ever heard before. Sure, it does follow the acoustic singer/songwriter template somewhat, but, and this will come as no surprise based on who is involved, "Science in Modern America" is weird. The best way I can describe this is if Alice Cooper sat in on Tom Morello's The Nightwatchman side project. But weirder.

You can listen to "Science in Modern America" below. King Buzzo with Trevor Dunn's new album Gift of Sacrifice will be out May 15 on Ipecac Recordings. You can pre-order the album here. For more on King Buzzo, check out The Melvins's website. Current tour dates are below the song.
