Description
'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... )

'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).
