Dale Crover looks a lot like Neil Youngenough so that Neil himself recruited Crover to play the, um, young version of himself in the iconic Harvest Moon video. Its hard to imagine anyone more qualified to cover the song than Crover, owing to his presence in the video and to his long history as a solo artist and over his 43-year tenure as drummer for the Pacific Northwest rock institution Melvins. Crovers version of Harvest Moon opens his new EP, Get Yer Ba-Bas Out, and barges into a rendition of Melvins Stag classic The Bit, because Crover wrote the guitar partits in the same key, and why the hell not? The EP additionally features acoustic renditions of three songs from Crovers solo album Glossolalia (Doug Yuletide, Rings, and Jane), one from 2021s Rat-A-Tat-Tat! (I Cant Help You There), and the brand-new title track. This intimate setting of Crovers songs here contrasts with the electric, guest-heavy Glossolalia, but itd be hard to call this music stripped-down. It feels more like a further development on the glam-damaged power pop Crovers been producing since 2017s The Fickle Finger of Fate. Producer Toshi Kasais arrangements fill the available empty space with slide guitar, Jews harp, assorted bells and other idiophones.The spirit of Crovers music has never been clearera restless desire to explore new territory combined with a deep love of rock n roll, the same that built the Melvins into one of the most interesting and influential bands of their generation.
