Nick Cave’s stripped down and sounding like a lascivious, caged, dirty old man. - Brock Galland
Just when we thought that Nick Cave was on track to easing further into middle age becoming the Australian Scott Walker, he throws down the Grinderman album, reminding us once again that he used to be NICK CAVE of THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, the hellion front man of a group that threw together scraps of blues, garage rock, soundtrack jazz and industrial scunge to fashion a sound that continues to reverberate through music. Grinderman are the Bad Seeds broken down to the shock troops of Warren Ellis, Jim Sclavunos and Martyn Casey, and along with Mr. Cave they’ve fashioned a stripped back, fuzzed out sound that blasts out of the speakers with the force of a monster truck driven by meth-addled art school dropouts. Find it, listen to it, and get right with it. - Scott Feemster
