Grinderman Summary The Story Of Grinderman Begins Within The Working Processes Of Another Band: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. At The Start Of 2004, When Nick Cave Took A Small Team Of Bad Seeds Members -- Violinist Warren Ellis, Bassist Martyn Casey And Drummer Jim Sclavunos -- Off To The Tiny Misère Studio In Paris For A Songwriting Session, They Effectively Established A New Band. The Small Combo Configuration Of Nick, Warren, Marty And Jim Had Its Public Debut In A Showcase Performance To Promote The Bad Seeds Nocturama Album; The Foursome Continued Working In This Streamlined Format, Getting Together Frequently For Nick Cave "solo" Tours. Born Of Babbling Lyrics Hatched From Bosch Eggshells In The Hyde-bound Apocalyptic Margins Of The Cave Brain, The Grinderman Sound Is An Instinctual Yawlp That Also Resurrects The Demons Of Each Musician's Past: The Trashcan Proselytising Of Birthday Party -era Nick; Sclavunos' Late 70s New York No-wave Noise Wisdom; Martyn Casey's Ominous Triffids Bass Reverb; Plus Ellis' Avant-garde Soundtrack Work And His Teenage Love Of Black Sabbath. Destination: Out! Grinderman Sound Different From Everyone, Including Themselves. As Memphis Slim Put It Back In 1941, "while Everything Is Quiet And Easy/ Mr. Grinder Can Have His Way." It's A New Day. God Help You All.

Grinderman is the sound of indie rock legends growing old disgracefully, and that is by no means a criticism. From the opening rant of "Get It On," this is an album with all the menace of an angry drunk, dripping with anger and testosterone (as the surfeit of facial hair in the band's interior photo will attest). It could even be the sound of Nick Cave's midlife crisis, but it doesn't matter, because Grinderman rocks. It's the sound of four musicians having a grand time, turning the volume up to 11 and really cutting loose. For that reason, it's the more upbeat tracks here that are probably the best: "Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars)" with its driving electric organ, the primal urgency of "Depth Charge Ethel," and the strutting album closer "Love Bomb." After all the po-faced seriousness he's displayed in recent years, it's good to know that Cave has rediscovered his sense of humour: "I cleaned the sheets on my bed, I combed the hairs across my head, I sucked in my gut and still she said, 'I don't want to,'" he sings on "No Pussy Blues," with his tongue firmly in cheek (amongst other places). Simply put, Grinderman is a hoot. --Ted Kord
