'GROW A PEAR' by JD PINKUS SHIMMY-2023 (Release Date June 7, 2024)
“ A ‘Pear’ of albums on one vinyl LP... a combo of heavy psychedelia, drum and bass grooves, bouncy boogie, catchy tunes and sprinkles of tastee horns, keys and strings thrown in... kinda like a thumb over the genre-hose nozzle, something for everyone and nothing for someone... guaranteed! “
“‘Grow A Pear’ has been in the works for 5 years. What started as my contributions for the ‘new’ Butthole Surfers’ album that was not to be... turned into a solo album I recorded with contributions from some of my favorite flavor players to create an album that most represents where I came from and bridges to where I’m at right now. My wishes for the future, is that everyone in the world will finally ‘Grow A Pear’ “
-JD Pinkus, 2024 (Butthole Surfers / Melvins / Honky / Helios Creed...)
The 1st pressing is limited to 555 hand-numbered LP's on 150gm black vinyl, available exclusively through the Shimmy-Shop.
Also available on 150gram Clear Vinyl.
The free digital download card that accompanies each vinyl purchase also includes special "digital-only" bonus material.
'Grow A Pear' features a veritable cornucopia of American Indie music radicals!
- Åsa Söderqvist and Lina Ericcson of Shitkid, Paul Leary of Butthole Surfers, Sam Coomes of Quasi and Jon Spencer’s Hit Makers, Mike Savino of Tall Tall Trees, Walter Daniels of Bigfoot Chester, Mike Alfred of Shed Alford, Jed Willis of Khandroma, Michael Brueggen of Honky and Syrup, Billy Sheeran of Billy Sheeran....
...and it seems like only yesterday that Shimmy-Disc released JD Pinkus' 'Fungus Shui', his second solo “space grass” banjo album. The album was written, recorded, and mixed by Pinkus himself at Plastic Cannon Studio in Asheville, North Carolina and was mastered by Kramer.
'Fungus Shui' (SHIMMY-2008) was released on August 20th 2021.
And lest we forget, just last summer we also released "PONDER MACHINE", the mind-bending collaborative LP by JD PINKUS & TALL TALL TREES (on tour NOW in support of that LP).
'Ponder Machine' (SHIMMY-2018) was released on June 30th 2023.
