Nick Cave, Bad Seeds form Grinderman

Pitchfork is reporting that Nick Cave and three members of his Bad Seeds-- Warren Ellis (also of Dirty Three), Martyn Casey, and Jim Sclavunos-- will release their as-yet-untitled debut album as Grinderman on March 5 via Mute in the UK.

According to the press release, the album promises:

an instinctual yawlp that...resurrects the demons of each musician's past: the trashcan proselytizing of Birthday Party-era Nick; Jim Sclavunos' late 70s New York no-wave noise wisdom; Martyn Casey's ominous Triffids bass reverb; plus Ellis' avant-garde soundtrack work and his teenage love of Black Sabbath,
