Preview: Dirty Three - Toward The Low Sun


Despite remaining active over the past seven years by playing in other various acts like Nick Cave, Grinderman, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, PJ Harvey, Nina Nastasia, White Magic, Bill Callahan, and Cat Power and recording solo albums, the Dirty Three, aka Mick Turner, Jim White, and Warren Ellis, haven't recorded a new album since 2005's Cinder. On February 28th, Drag City will release the trio's return album Toward the Low Sun featuring all the folky instrumentals that you love the band for. Download the first single "Rising Below" below.

Capturing the magic of the trio's past work is no easy task, but "Rising Below" suggests that the band haven't lost a step. Warren's violin is as gorgeous as ever while Mick Turner's electric guitar moves from dreamy to heavy and Jim White's drumming brings all the elements together for a potent mix of awesomeness.
