The side-project of Nick Cave and Bad Seeds Warren Ellis, Jim Sclavunos and Martyn Casey, Grinderman received a rapturous reception for their self-titled debut in 2007. The quartet reconvened in 2009 to record Grinderman 2, which was released on 13th September 2010. Recorded in 2009 at London’s RAK, State of The Ark and Assault and Battery studios the album was co-produced by Grinderman and Nick Launay and mixed by Launay at London’s British Grove in August 2009 and LA’s Seedy Underbelly in April 2010. Exploring more psychedelic territory than its predecessor, Grinderman 2 is a looser and more experimental record. With their raw bluesy-garage rock infusing with these diverse influences, this is a hallucinatory and sonically sound album. Grinderman 2 includes the single "Heathen Child" and "Worm Tamer". Their second and final album, in December of 2011 Cave announced the band's breakup at a music festival in Australia.
