  James

  Bone Machine feels excavated rather than recorded. Waits turns decay into rhythm and apocalypse into groove. It’s grim, biblical, and weirdly playful all at once.

• 

  Tom Waits

  Neil Hopkins

  This album was recorded in a bare cellar with a cement floor, giving it a raw, immediate quality. This was also the first time that Tom played percussion on any of his records - he said “I like to play drums when I'm angry … Drumming is therapeutic. I wish I'd found it when I was younger”. This gives yet another evolution of his sound, especially on the sparse “All Stripped Down” as well as the western style intro to “Goin’ Out West”
