Dirty Three don't really fit with the instrumental post-rock scene with which they're often lumped - they have infinitely more soul, style and swagger. In many ways, the dynamic between guitarist Mick Turner, peerless drummer Jim White and violinist Warren Ellis is that of a classic jazz trio, but there's as much elemental rock'n'roll, country, and European and American folk in their heady swirl as jazz. On this, their seventh album, they've rung the changes, reining in the sprawling, visionary epics of previous records and working for the first time with vocalists. Chan Marshall (better known as Cat Power) adds an autumnal tint to Great Waves, but it's far from the high point. The frantic, abrasive Flutter, or heart-melting closer In Fall don't need vocals: their wild poetry is beyond words.
