1 Chicken Ala King 0:30 Introducing, the debut solo album from the enigmatic legend that is Dale Crover.

2 Bad Move 3:27 Amongst his 30+ year career as one half of the essential Melvins roster, Crover has 3 The Members Bounce 0:14 contributed to countless albums ranging from platinum-plated classics (ahem, 4 None, No More 0:31 Nirvana) to seminal cult LPs. However, up until this point Crover's solo efforts have only appeared once in a blood moon, limited to the Melvins 1992 KISS-themed solo 5 Hillbilly Math 4:00 EP, and a couple intermittent 7" releases. The Fickle Finger Of Fate marks Crover's 6 String Bean 0:31 first calculated, full length solo effort. 7 The Short Con 0:26 But let's be clear: this is not a drum record. The album features a perplexingly 8 Little Brother 4:35 diverse batch of songs that recall the best moments of the Melvins catalog. With 9 Tiny Sound 2:25 90% of all instruments played by Crover, and recorded by longtime engineer Toshi 10 Slide On Up 1:07 Kasai, the album is sure to tickle the temporal lobes of Melvins devotees.

11 Big Uns 4:07 Sonically, the album ranges from slightly microwaved heaviness, to surprisingly chill 12 Prismo 0:12 Pink Floyd-tinged ballads, to Max Roach-meets-Throbbing-Gristle drum experimen- tations, to good old fashioned Andy Kaufman-style head-fuckery. 13 Giant Hunka Cake 0:26

14 Fickle Finger of Fate 4:37 Though consistently otherworldly, The Fickle Finger Of Fate is surprisingly 15 Thunder Pinky 1:47 approachable— dare we say, catchy. But even at it's most anthemic, you won't be able to shake the feeling that a sinister ambience is hovering just beneath the 16 Horse Pills 0:29 surface. 17 There Goes The Neighborhood 3:06 18 Our Supreme Leader 0:14 19 I Found The Way Out 2:40 20 Vulnavia 0:42
