The Dirty Three – Rising Below
Seems fitting to do this post on Leap Year day, since it’s been just about as rare to have new music from Australia’s the Dirty Three. For the past couple of months I’ve been dying to post something about this new LP, waiting for the release date to finally come. It’s been quite a long time since the last album, Cinder, was released, but the band is back with Toward The Low Sun out now on Drag City. Still comprised of founding members, Jim White, Mick Turner and Warren Ellis, the band doesn’t necessarily stride into any new territory, but they certainly don’t need to. When you have a sound as emotionally deep and perfect as this, all you need to do is turn on the microphones and record. Thankfully the band is back together and playing with renewed vigor, touring their native lands and making trips to a variety of festivals. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they make their way here to LA and into our studios for a interview and performance!
