I have not yet finished listening to the Dirty Streets’ Blades of Grass, but I can honestly say this is a fucking great album.
The cover art pretty much tells you what you need to know. (By the way, it is definitely the raddest album art we’re likely to see this year.) This album is down and dirty and, at times, psychedelic. But don’t assume that means Blades of Grass is all over the place. The Dirty Streets’ groove is practically precision-guided.
My commentary here is pretty useless. You just need to listen to it and be blown away. This album will almost certainly be on my “best of” list come December. Nice work, gents.
