A new Grinderman album is coming our way.
According to Nick Cave, a third Grinderman album is en route, almost a decade since their last release.
According to multiple outlets, the singer-songwriter let it slip, writing in his latest Red Hands Files post that Grinderman’s two albums are “part of a yet to be completed trilogy, you might be happy to know.”
The band, which formed in 2005, released their debut LP in 2007, which was followed three years later with Grinderman 2.
In the post, Cave shared a story about Robert Fripp’s contribution to an extended version of Grinderman 2 cut “Heathen Child,” saying that the version is “Grinderman at their very best;” “recording with Robert Fripp remains one of the seismic events of my life,” he added.
“I felt as though Grinderman was laying claim to their roots,” he continued. “Super Heathen Child continues to have an extraordinary hold over me, and contains within it a deep emotional pull because it is attached directly to my adolescence.”
“Listening to it, I have that strange dizzying feeling a dream has when it suddenly becomes a reality; all that deep concentrated listening I did when I was a teenager manifesting itself over 40 years later in a Fripp solo that just blows the mind.”
Grinderman disbanded in 201 but got back together for an unexpected and brief reunion for 2013’s Coachella.
