Tarantula Heart LP

On "Tarantula Heart," the Melvins wield their dual-drum setup like a weapon, crafting a dissonant ballet that insists on bending indie rock's rules. Tracks such as "Pain Equals Funny" and "Working The Ditch" don't just play with noise; they actively mock conventional pop, exploring rhythm in ways that feel both jarring and deliberate. If you're comfortable with the Melvins' previous work, prepare for confusion; this album blurs the line between coherence and chaos in a way that only they can pull off.
