Pro tip: don’t get Dirty Three and Alabama Three confused. The Dirty ones are a transnational instrumental trio signed to Bella Union, while the Alabama lot can be found playing Brixton Jamm every third evening.
‘Rising Below’ is taken from Dirty Three’s forthcoming album Toward The Low Sun, their first since 2005′s Cinder. Inbetween records one of the them has been painting, one has been playing with Bonnie Prince Billy, and the other has been in Grinderman. Fair excuses for what might otherwise seem a pretty lackadaisical work ethic.
The track, built on a scratchy violin base that immediately brings to mind ‘Street Hassle’ (without actually sounding anything like it), begins languorously enough, before slowly building into an oddly deconstructed little cacophonic symphony. It’s a bit like a group of children have been given instruments and told to gradually play them louder and louder. And it’s exactly as entertaining as that sounds.
Toward The Low Sun is out next month.
