DIRTY THREE
Whatever You Love, You Are (Touch & Go)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

As marvelous as the Dirty Three are, you had to wonder about the limitations posed by an instrumental trio guided by a lone violin. Instead of repeating themselves, this Aussie trio continues to evolve with each and every album. This time around, Warren Ellis overdubs his violin parts to create a thicker, plusher sound, elevating what used to be stark and immediate, to a new listening level. This is by far the group's most endearing and sophisticated work. Simply beautiful.
