Melvins: Stoner Witch (180g) Vinyl LP

Seventh studio album from Montesano, Washington’s Melvins. Stoner Witch was originally recorded in 1994 and was the band’s second album for Atlantic Records. The band’s music moved away from the sludge rock of earlier recordings to a slightly more commercial sound. It’s no surprise that the album contains one of their more widely known tracks in “Revolve.” However, there is still plenty of experimentation and tripped out detours amongst the more radio friendly stuff. Eleven tracks in all. Released by Third Man Records on 180 gram vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve.

• 180g black vinyl pressing
• remastered from the original analog tapes
