Grinderman (Eco-Vinyl) [LP]

Grinderman was formed in 2005 when Nick Cave wrote material for the album "Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

Together with Martyn Casey on bass, Warren Ellis on violin and guitar and Jim Sclavunos on drums, the band worked on songs together. in 2006 they went into a London studio and began a marathon session of songwriting and demo recording. Aiming to recreate the rawer, more primal sound of Cave's acclaimed post-punk project "The Birthday Party", Grinderman's lyrics and music deviated significantly from Nick Cave's earlier work with The Bad Seeds.

The following April, they recorded the best of these new songs and recorded an album with the help of longtime friend and producer Nick Launay. Their debut album "Grinderman", released on March 5, 2007, featured eleven songs and was critically acclaimed, including the singles "No Pussy Blues" and "Get It On". The quartet reunited in 2009 to record "Grinderman 2", which was released in 2010. In December 2011, Cave announced the break-up of the band at a music festival in Australia.
