Nick Cave and The Dirty Three

Nick Cave is the Tom Waits of Australia.

This is his latest album.

"Grinderman."

There are some shrill sounds on this disc, so be careful.

Cave is a prolific artist. Like Waits, he's also involved in cinema. His screenplay for THE PROPOSITION is exquisite.

Now ridiculously raucous, now intensely lyrical--Cave is a songwriter of myriad moods.

Check out "No Pussy Blues." This is an intellectually rigorous approach to noise rock.

Loud is better.
