[Mini Review] Grinderman
21 Mar 2007 10:52 amYay for new music from established artists!
For those of you who don't yet know, Grinderman is a new project by Nick Cave (with members of the Bad Seeds) and was described somewhere as "Foul-mouthed, noisy, hairy, and damn well old enough to know better" and that's exactly what it sounds like. You can hear the smoke and smell of booze in the air. This is music for a dark, smoky, sleazy club for the discerning professional who needs time out from the stresses of everyday life just as for the down-and-out from the street.
Pretty much like Tom Waits, it's raw poetry wrapped in raw, spontaneous music. Yum.
9 out of 10 on the Ozzometer.
N.B.: thanks to
raggedy_man for bringing this to my attention.
