expected release July 18

Grinderman came to be when Nick Cave was writing material in 2004 for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ album Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. Teaming up with band members Martyn Casey on bass, Warren Ellis on violin and guitar, and Jim Sclavunos on drums and working up songs as a group, the band went into a studio in London in 2006 and began a marathon session of writing and demoing material. Aiming to recreate the more raw, primal sound like that of Cave’s celebrated post-punk project The Birthday Party, Grinderman’s lyrical and musical content diverged significantly from Nick Cave’s previous work with The Bad Seeds.
