JD Pinkus, best known for paying with Butthole Surfers (and a bunch of others) has a new solo record coming out on Shimmy Disc this summer. Pinkus plans to release Grow A Pear on June 7, sharing new single "Charmer" along with the album release info this week. Pinkus also released the solo Fungus Shui in 2021.
On his latest go-around, the stylistic footprint leans punk, psych rock, and banjo-based folk.
"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," the artist says in a press release.
Later this summer Pinkus will be on the road in support for King Buzzo and Trevor Dunn's co-headlining tour.
