Review

The esoteric wistfulness of Australian instrumentalists Dirty Three once again shines on She Has No Strings Apollo, though something's changed for the trio. Here their melancholic sensibilities aren't subjected to chaotic outbursts, as in the past. Anchored by drummer Jim White's jazzy shuffles, violinist Warren Ellis plays sad melodies while Mick Turner's rootless guitar splashes color the edges. Though less dynamically extreme and of a folksier disposition than Slint or Mogwai, D3 have a similar ability to accelerate from 0 to 11 in the course of a song. Selections like "She Has No Strings" exhibit a deliberate minimalism akin to Low (with whom they collaborated on 1999's excellent In the Fishtank), only to dissolve into a bramble of string-driven noise. Still, the grand cacophony of Ocean Songs isn't as prominent, with a few exceptions--notably White's explosion at the end of "Sister Let Them Try and Follow." Few bands, however, make slowing down sound this risky. --Matthew CookeThe band's sixth studio album is marked by their signature sounds crashing together with remarkable power, fury, and beauty. Subtle touches of piano and the addition of bass guitar (a first) work beautifully behind the shimmering melodies of violin, ethereal guitar, and tidal drumming. It's that rare brand of music that's raw, pure, expressive, and untainted by artifice. Touch & Go Records. 2003.
