Aiming to recreate the more raw, primal sound of all former related projects such as The Birthday Party, ''Grindermans lyrical and musical content diverged significantly from Nick Cave's concurrent work with The Bad Seeds, whose last studio album, ''Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus'' (2004), was primarily blues, gospel and alternative-orientated in stark contrast to the raw sound of the early Bad Seeds albums. Incidentally, the musical direction of ''Grinderman'' influenced The Bad Seeds' next studio album, ''Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!'' (2008). According to producer Nick Launay, the recording sessions for the album only lasted four days, during which time the band also recorded a number of extra material. One song " Chain Of Flowers" was later featured as th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
