Dirty Three Horse Stories (Vinyl)

1996 was a good year for Warren Ellis – as well as being the year he became a full member of Nick Cave’s backing band The Bad Seeds, it also saw the release of Horse Stories, a fine release from his Dirty Three project.

Though the band are a trio, it’s Ellis who’s the star of the show, laying down emotive and powerful violin solos over the laid-back musical backing of Mick Turner and Jim White.

It’s an intriguing post-rock sound and comes recommended to any post-rock fans who like albums with lots of violin.
