"Heathen Child"
Heathen Child by MuteRecords
It's the first single from the second album from Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey, and Jim Sclavunos's balls-out Grinderman project. It's swampy and bluesy and you may feel like you need a wash after listening to it. The "Heathen Child" single is out on limited edition 12" colored vinyl September 6 and features another version of the song-- dubbed "Super Heathen Child"-- with an ear-blasting guitar solo from the one and only Robert Fripp (David Bowie, King Crimson). The download version is backed by the B-side "Star Charmer".
Grinderman 2 hits September 13 in Europe via Mute and September 14 in the U.S. via Anti-. Listen to the non-Fripp version of "Heathen Child" above (via @grindermansite).
