>> Grinderman

Featuring Nick Cave on vocals, with members of The Bad Seeds rounding up the lineup, Grinderman takes Cave out of the sophisticated, if twisted, world of adult-contemporary pop his solo work was slowly edging toward to embrace noisy, dirty rock'n'roll elements. With a heavy emphasis on blues rock and slinky arrangements, Grinderman's a gritty, though still dark, direction for Cave's music.
