Cinder by Dirty Three on Touch and Go Records (the album artwork is an abstract painting by Mick Turner in blues, reds and whites, that appears to depict birds in flight; the band name is written in white at the top-left, while the album title is written below it at the bottom-left).

Dirty Three - Cinder

TOUCH AND GO RECORDS

Cinder is the seventh album by Dirty Three, originally released by Touch and Go Records in October 2005. 

Dirty Three formed in 1993 in Melbourne, Australia and consist of Warren Ellis (violin), Jim White (drums) and Mick Turner (guitar). Their music is improvisational and melodic and equal parts beauty and melancholy. 

Recorded in just ten days at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne, the songs on Cinder, compared to previous albums, are shorter, and more somewhat more structured. Though still unmistakably Dirty Three, the band add new sounds to their usual minimal set up, including bagpipes, mandolin, bouzouki, and, for the first time, occasional vocals, including the song 'Great Waves,' co-written and performed with Chan Marshall (Cat Power), whom the band have frequently collaborated with, most notably on her 1998 album, Moon Pix.

Last Of The Better Days Ahead by Charlie Parr on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (the album artwork is an illustration by Abe Partridge depicting Charlie Parr with a melting candle on their head, flowers growing from their tongue, and a devil wearing pyjamas on their shoulder, in front of a landscape with a burning tree, snakes on the ground and a large moon circling his head; it's not as religious-looking as it sounds though).

Ginko by Joan Shelley on No Quarter Records (the sleeve artwork is a colour photograph of Joan Shelley, over-exposed and awash with sunlight through a window. In the photograph Shelley is seen in profile, looking down next to some recording equipment with a small vase a flowers atop them; Shelley's long blond hair is tucked behind her ear; there is no text on the front of the sleeve).
