Dirty Three – ‘Cinder’ (Bella Union)
___________________________________________________________________________
Aussie folksters Dirty Three return with new album ‘Cinder’. Dirty Three
for me have always been one of the more notable of the avant-garde
instrumentalists who seemed to crop up from the early nineties. There has
always been something more to their folk wanderings than many of their
contemporaries, a more structured yet absorbing sound than others. It is this
that ‘Cinder’ attempts and succeeds to build on.
It is seemingly more of an album of songs than shifting motions and feelings
(as appeared to be the case on an album like their excellent ‘Horse Stories’
) often treading the path of considered and withdrawn. Within this though
they seem to have introduced a more varied sound utilising a more varied
instrument base then on previous occasions. There are also moments of
defiance like on Celtic flavoured (bagpipes my friends!) rocker ‘Doris’ or
the song ‘Great Waves’, a track featuring the vocal talents of Chan
Marshall.
Over the years Dirty Three have certainly lost none of their passion and
invention. They are a band that continue to push a concept which if given to
lesser musicians could have become increasingly boring. However in their
hands it has not and I think it's fair to say that ‘Cinder’ is one of the
most diverse and enjoyable albums of Dirty Three’s career so far.
