Album Notes:

The Dirty Three forged from a need to pay the rent in 1993. The main concern was to try and take a band photo in a rehearsal, albeit brief. The band originally played background MUZAK in the corner of a bar, a bar probably not too dissimilar from your living room. The band’s volume outgrew the venue, so they took on stages, stages with PA’s. There was also some problem about a stolen mop bucket.

 

Dirty Three’s music has been called lyrical, passionate, original, inspiring, and has earned them admiration and renown across the globe, from their home in Australia, to New Orleans to New York City and back again.

 

Ocean Songs is the fourth major album by Australian trio, Dirty Three. On some tracks David Grubbs plays piano and harmonium. Cover art by guitarist Mick Turner. Recorded at Electric Audio, Chicago, United States, during August and September of 1997.

 

In October 2010, Ocean Songs by Dirty Three was listed in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums.
