Grinderman – ‘Get It On’

Since I last blogged about Nick Cave’s stripped down side project, this album has grown to become one of my favourites of the year. This opening track lays out the intentions of the project, the array of instruments Cave has at his disposal, the tone of songwriting and mood of the narrative throughout the rest of the album. In short, it is the perfect opening song to a pretty great album. One that goes unmentioned in the recent Triple J Album of the Year ‘J’ Award. I wonder if there is some snobbery towards albums made overseas by Australian expats? Who cares really. Listen to this song, it makes you want to listen to the rest of the album. And you should.
