{"product_id":"036172089338","title":"Dirty Three \"Ocean Songs\" 2xLP (Green Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt’s hard to accurately describe to the uninitiated what exactly Dirty Three sound like. Or how they affect you. They are similar to a movie, with its emotional dynamics intrinsic in its self-defined walls. But Dirty Three are barely defined, becoming something that Warren, Mick, and Jim could not conceive of without the other two. They are an\u003cbr\u003eemotional roller coaster ride, with all the good parts and the bad parts rolled into the climb and the fall simultaneously, making the listener pine for the best of times and romanticize the worst of times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded by Steve Albini at Chicago’s Electrical Audio and released in 1998, Ocean Songs is Dirty Three’s fourth album. It sees them straying a bit from the manic dynamics on 1996’s Horse Stories, where the songs were at first coaxed into existence, only to be bashed apart in a raucous ending. Ocean Songs plies the listener with tales of longing\u003cbr\u003eand weariness, although hope is just around the corner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tracks on Ocean Songs are wordless waltzes, crawling ballads, and haunted reels. Fiddler Warren Ellis can make his violin weep two different ways: a little or a lot. Mick Turner’s guitar sparkles and fades.\u003cbr\u003eDrummer Jim White always dawdles behind, only occasionally delivering a snare drum smack like a period at the end of an overlong sentence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Rolling Stone (1998)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirty Three are in no hurry to enlighten or entertain.
