The Dirty Three (Warren Ellis, Mick Turner and Jim White) formed up in Melbourne in 1992, to play with guitar drums, and violin or viola; within a couple years, they’d broken out of Australia and gone worldwide. Over the next ten years, they toured over and over the planet, cut seven albums out along the way, and de-coupled themselves to piece together many other fruitful collaborations with esteemed talents (Nick Cave, Cat Power, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, PJ Harvey, Nina Nastasia). Over the past 20 years, they’ve gotten together a few times to renew vows, rev the engines, play some shows, or make an album.
The trio is back with Love Changes Everything out on June 28 via Drag City and has shared the single “Love Changes Everything I” a resounding mix of guitar and gritty musical stew that sounds just where they left off. This is their first album since 2012’s Toward the Low Sun) and one everybody should be looking forward to.
