Tom Morello is an unstoppable force right now. In the past six months alone, the Rage Against the Machine guitarist has collaborated with Pussy Riot, Dennis DeYoung, The Pretty Reckless and Serj Tankian, and now rap-rocker K.Flay is the latest artist to benefit from his unorthodox guitar skills.
New single TGIF, which you can hear below, is fueled by K.Flay’s sleazy bend-based Jazzmaster riff, while Morellian Whammy pitch-bends lend extra edge to the chorus. Of course, there’s a guitar solo, too, whose none-more-glitched-out tones chime with Morello’s latest pedal squeeze and DigiTech cult classic, the XP-300 Space Station.
