and his new band have named their first single since forming, which is due out in a few weeks on January 8th.
Get It On will be a special one-sided limited edition single of just 1000 numbered 7 copies. It s also the first taster for their self-titled debut album, due out next year on March 5th.
The artwork feature is by Nick Cave himself, as is a unique vinyl etching by him on the b-side. In addition to the 7 format, Get It On will also be available as a download.
Speaking about the single, Grinderman say:
This song is sung across an excoriating mandolin loop based on an obscure lute melody from the 11th century, suggests Ellis.
It is a lament for the messianic rock n roll hero, says the virile and youthful Cave, and begins, of course, with a statement of intent.
Mice, dogs, baboons, hyenas , says Marty.
Yeah, well, for me all the enemies of inspiration assume animal shapes, explains Cave, they are all around us.
..and of course, inside us.
From all the loops I originally sent you, this was the first one that really cried out to be used, mumbles Ellis, from the black hole in his shovel-shaped beard.
Yeah, it grinds..
.it ground..
