Everyone’s favorite raving lunatic Nick Cave is back! Cave’s career-jolting, psycho-sex beatnik blues project Grinderman will release their new studio album of pyscho-sex beatnik blues, Grinderman 2 via pyscho-sex beatnik blues label Mute on September 13 in beatnik-blusey Europe (and via psycho-sex beatnik blues label ANTI- on September 14 in the pyscho-sexy United States)
Grinderman 2 was recorded in 2009 at London’s RAK, State of The Ark, and Assault and Battery studios. It was co-produced by Grinderman and Nick Launay and mixed by Launay at London’s British Grove in August 2009 and LA’s Seedy Underbelly in April 2010. There’s also a pretty, um, ferocious teaser video for the album playing now at the band’s website. And to celebrate their triumphant return to the throne of The Kingdom of Old Dudes Who Still Write Seriously Fucked-up and Cool Rock Records, Cave and co. are going on a 20-date European bender starting September 25 (which gives them each plenty of lead time to talk to their doctors about their overactive bladders).
