Montreal-born musician, bassist, and artist Melissa Auf der Maur (Hole, Tinker) has announced her first taste of new music in 16 years, BASS WOMB ROOM: My '90s 4-Track Demos x Field Recordings, out digitally and on cassette September 4 via Envision Records.

Auf der Maur has also shared a teaser of first single "Skip a Beat," which you can listen to below:

The album features seven never-before-heard 4-track tape recorder demos written during the '90s while Auf der Maur was doing her thing with a camera and a bass guitar.

It also features eight new "interludes" created for her upcoming museum exhibit, Melissa Auf der Maur: My ’90s Rock Photographs, opening September 2 at the Art Gallery of Ontario. If that wasn't enough, a 240-page photobook of the same name arrives September 8 via DelMonico Books/D.A.P. and the AGO.

Auf der Maur says of the new project:

“I wrote these songs in the context of rising pressure from the major label-driven music industry on myself and my peers to make glossy hit songs to dominate radio airwaves. These songs are the sound of my internal experimentation and a way of keeping the Montreal art girl alive inside. These sounds are the quiet and private side of the girl who joined the big American major label rock band.”
