Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds has revealed to Noisecreep that he is working on a currently un-named project with Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, former Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen and ex- Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery.

Hinds has joked that he wants to call the group Giraffe Tongue “because they look sick” but admits that progress on the record has been slow. “We tried to get together and do an album, but there’s been no time,” he told Noisecreep, “We want to record crazy stuff and Ben is working on that, but it’s been hard to get together.”

Hinds, who recently starred in ad alerting us to the dangers of overwhelming hunger pains, has also just released a double album featuring his other bands Fiend Without a Face – “a rockabilly-porno-metal band with a little bit of a country twist” – and West End Motel – which apparently sounds like “Nick Cave fronting Gogol Bordello” – and is also working on a new Mastodon album.
