The latest Melvins release which happens to not be a Melvins release is out. Entitled Chicken Switch, the album is a “remix” album featuring some usual suspects such as Yamatsuka Eye and Merzbow.

More importantly is the news from the official Ipecac announcement that there will be a new Melvins album mid 2010!

Official Ipecac announcement:

“How can the US reform it’s health care system?

Does David Hasselhof have a drinking problem?

What’s with the weather?

Is there anything better on TV than “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”?

When is a new Melvins record not a new Melvins record?

Well, we can’t figure out the Kardashians for you, but we can tell you
this, there is a “new” Melvins record out, and it’s called “Chicken
Switch”. It includes some of the Melvins coolest songs from the past,
but the twist is, these songs have been remixed by some of the leading
purveyors of underground, noise music. You got your Speedranch,
Matmos,  Eye from the Boredoms, Lee Ronaldo, Merzbow and more
reinterpreting songs you’ve cherished since childhood. Hard to call
most of these remixes as they stand on their own as new tunes. This
project was spearheaded by you the Melvins fans at the Melvins website
with the Melvins stamp of approval. So it’s gotta be good, right?

This will keep you satisfied until the new Melvins studio record is
unleashed in mid 2010.

So, what’s a ‘Chicken Switch’?”
