Dirty Three: Love Changes Everything - Reviewđ„5 Stars âââââ
Ellis, White, and Turner have achieved a new level of balance and flexibility, showcasing a blend of unity and fluidity that conveys an emotional complexity oscillating between optimism and desolation. Departing from their typical evocative song titles, they have opted for a series of numbered compositions that seamlessly transition between each other, resulting in Dirty Three's most captivating and interpretive album to date.
Dirty Three rose to prominence in the early 1990s amidst a backdrop of youthful energy, performing extensively in Australian bars to audiences who either found them perplexing or divisive. Their breakthrough came with international recognition, particularly in the United States, which opened up new opportunities for them. They embarked on relentless tours and engaged in various collaborations. Warren Ellis and Mick Turner teamed up with Cat Power for the album Moon Pix in 1998, while Ellis formed a productive partnership with fellow expatriate Nick Cave. Over time, Dirty Three honed their focus, evolving into a musical entity that encapsulated a distinct array of sounds and concepts, attracting musicians who were engaged in diverse artistic pursuits. This included ventures into painting, releasing remarkable solo albums, working with artists like Bill Callahan, and contributing to the songwriting of Nick Cave's band, the Bad Seeds.
Love Changes Everything was promoted by The Dirty Three during their tour in Australia, but they have not yet revealed any tour dates for the US.
