Frukie listeners will be familiar with the 2007 Grinderman side project of Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey and Jim Sclavunos which has graced our playlist in the past. A follow-up (Grinderman 2) has been announced with a single release titled Heathen Child on 30th August and an album release on 13th September titled Grinderman 2: Here Come the Wolfman.
The unequivocally titled Grinderman 2 was recorded in 2009 at London’s State of The Ark and Assault and Battery studios. Co-produced by Grinderman and Nick Launay, the nine-track album was mixed by Launay at London’s British Grove in August 2009 and Los Angeles’ Seedy Underbelly in April 2010.
The marketing has already started with a a couple of viral video campaigns to give fans a taster and as with most new releases today, a promotion tour has been planned.
