Overview
- The quartet of Buzz Osborne, JD (Jeff) Pinkus, Coady Willis and Clinton Jacob issued a surprise four‑song EP called Burn Witch Burn on August 4, 2026 through Amphetamine Reptile.
- The EP’s tracklist is Taco Bellboy, Victims Of The Universe, Black Hall and Clear Smoke, and a visualizer for the song Black Hall was published alongside the release.
- Osborne says he conceived the project while touring last fall and recruited the three musicians to make what he called “solidly weird” heavy, psychedelic rock.
- The digital single was distributed via Ipecac Recordings, and early coverage notes the full EP is not yet fully available on major streaming platforms so listeners may need to purchase it to hear all tracks.
- Each member brings a long underground pedigree — Osborne (Melvins), Pinkus (Butthole Surfers), Willis (Big Business/High On Fire and longtime Melvins collaborator) and Jacob (MR. PHYLZZZ) — a lineage that shapes expectations for the band’s noisy, riff‑driven sound and label choice.
