While
Nick Cave
's music has evolved from the harrowing post-punk wail of
the Birthday Party
to the eloquent and often poetic approach he explored on the albums
The Boatman's Call
and
No More Shall We Part
with his group
the Bad Seeds
, the trouble-making noise merchant of his youth has never entirely gone away, and in 2006
Cave
founded
Grinderman
to give this side of his musical personality a new outlet.
Grinderman
came to be when
Cave
was writing material
in 2004 for his acclaimed album
Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
. Tired of writing in his office at home and then presenting the material to
the Bad Seeds
,
Cave
decided to try a new approach by teaming up with bandmembers
Martyn Casey
on bass,
Warren Ellis
on violin and guitar, and
Jim Sclavunos
on drums and working up songs as a group. With
Cave
improvising lyrics and playing guitar while his bandmates built melodies around them, the musicians began veering off into more experimental territory. Whipping up a potent dose of elemental music rooted in blues, punk, and no wave, the foursome created something wholly separate from
the Bad Seeds
, with an energy and emotional fury that pointed to the path-breaking music of their pasts while belying the maturity of the participants.
Cave
and his partners decided to give the new music an identity of its own, and
Grinderman
was born. In February 2006, the band went into a studio in London and began a marathon session of writing and demoing material; the following April, they took the cream of these new songs and recorded an album with the help of producer
Nick Launay
. The first
Grinderman
tune,
"No Pussy Blues,"
was released to the Internet in the fall of 2006; a limited-edition vinyl single of
"Get It On"
was issued in February 2007, with
Grinderman
's 11-song debut album following that spring. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
