Listen to New Don Fleming EP

You gotta love a record that contains a track called "Clockwork Cockwork."

By Blurt Staff

Don Fleming 4 is the smartly-titled fourth solo release from Don Fleming; not coincidentally, it contains four songs. It's the legendary musician/producer's first solo release since 1998 and was recently released on his own Instant Mayhem imprint.

Fleming, of course, had been involved with some of the wildest outfits of the alterna-universers, among them Velvet Monkeys (recently reviewed here), Gumball and B.A.L.L. And of course he's manned the boards for key releases from the likes of Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Hole, Screaming Trees, Posies, Andrew W.K. and Alice Cooper.

The EP is being streamed all this week by AOL/Spinner.com.

Don Fleming 4 includes collaborations with Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth, Free Kitten), Julie Cafritz (Pussy Galore, Free Kitten) and R. Stevie Moore. "My Little Lamb" finds Don on vocals and R. Stevie Moore on all instruments with lyrics by Don. "Torn by the Hands That You Could Not See" is built around a guitar piece by Kim Gordon with vocals and all other instruments by Don, with lyrics by Kim Rancourt of When People Were Shorter. "Clockwork Cockwork" features a Julie Cafritz guitar composition with Don on vocals and all other instruments, with lyrics by Don. "Adam's Fall" is Don on vocals and all instruments, with lyrics excerpted from the writings of Irish playwright Brendan Behan.
