CRYSTAL FAIRY (At the Drive-In, Melvins) Streaming “Chiseler”

by | Dec 8, 2016

Speaking of Omar Rodriguez Lopez, his other new project Crystal Fairy — featuring Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover of the Melvins and Teri Gender Bender from Le Butcherettes — have released their new song.

It’s called “Chiseler” and will appear on their upcoming self-titled debut album, out February 24th through Ipecac.

Teri Gender Bender told Pitchfork:

“It was so much fun to write this song with Buzz, Omar and Dale. It literally just came out like a flying saucer while we were working the parts out for Chiseler. That same day we recorded everything. It was so impressive to see how well we all experiment with one another. While writing the lyrics for this one, I completely let my hand do the story telling… the unconscious is sometimes wiser than our premeditated thoughts.”
