These are the facts we can be sure of: in 1998, around the time his band godheadSilo went on hiatus, bassist/vocalist Mike Kunka busied himself by tagging along on a tour with his friends the Melvins. Somewhere along the way, Mike and the Melvins – King Buzzo (guitar/bass/vocals), Dale Crover (drums/vocals), and Kevin Rutmanis (bass/vocals), at the time – decided to make a record together, and gave the project the imaginative moniker Mike and the Melvins. Sub Pop enthusiastically agreed to fund and release the super-group’s debut, and recording commenced sometime in 1999.
Then … a bunch of stuff happened, and the album never saw the light of day.
Cut to 2015, and for a reason as mysterious as its sudden stoppage, the musicians found themselves in studio finishing up the album. Now, Sub Pop is finally set to fulfill a 16-year-old promise by releasing Mike and the Melvins’ debut album, Three Men and a Baby.
Mike’s signature bass crunch and vocals are all over it, and the Melvins are in fine form. It has everything from hefty noise-rock churn to a Public Image Ltd. song to cough-syrup blues to deconstructed black metal. Neither Melvins nor godheadSilo fans will be disappointed, nor will detractors of either; to paraphrase Mike, if you don’t like it, it probably wasn’t meant for you.
Most of Three Men and a Baby was recorded in 1999 at Louder Studios by Tim Green (The Fucking Champs), and the rest was recorded and mixed in 2015 at Sound of Sirens by Toshi Kasai.
