Piping The Truth Into Your Brainballs!
Story published on September 10, 2009
Nick Cave has certainly been busy for the past few months, there were extensive festival appearances along with the Bad Seeds during the summer, his brand new novel The Death of Bunny Munro has just been published and now his side project Grinderman have just announced completion of their second album.
This week Warren Ellis from the band told The Quietus what fans can expect from their second album.
“It’s very different from Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! and it’s very different from the first Grinderman album. That was something we were very aware of, we didn’t want it to be like that at all.
“There’s an attitude in there that’s similar, but sonically it’s got some pretty weird things going on,” he elaborated. “It’s probably more fleshed out than the first one, we’ve probably learned to play the instruments a bit more. I play lots of stuff on there, there’s violin on it, which I didn’t get in the other one, and a lot of backing vocals.
“It’s kind of like stoner rock meets Sly Stone via Amon Duul. It’s very diverse, and there’s a lot of stuff on there that doesn’t sound like anything we’ve done before. Nick’s got a different thing going on with the lyrics than he would have from the Bad Seeds, and he’s found a new thing from the first album. Less sex? I wouldn’t say that. It’s psychedelic, and I think it’s great. We’re really excited about it.”
