Toward The Low Sun is the first DIRTY THREE album since 2005’s Cinder. Returning to the basic formula for the band, the labor and decision-making is divined evenly and democratically as they improvise themselves into the heart of the moment. The sounds of traditional music are glimpsed in WARREN ELLIS’ violin while MICK TURNER and JIM WHITE blow clouds that envelop the picture. Each take the lead as the untidy trio trip lightly and jazzily from etude to still life to exploding the air into ames around us with just a violin, electric guitar and trap kit. Don’t shade your eyes! Look Toward the Low Sun and you will know once again the burn of the Dirty Three. The crusty troika are back, for the first time ever on Drag City Records.
