Nick Cave lets the sleaze loose. The debut from Grinderman — Cave plus members of the Bad Seeds in full unhinged garage mode — is loud, dirty, and gloriously feral. Fuzz bass, howled vocals, midlife crises turned into primal rock’n’roll. It’s funny, it’s violent, it’s got a moustache. If the Bad Seeds are the sermon, Grinderman is the drunken confession afterwards. Essential reissue of a modern scuzz-rock classic.
