THE DIRTY NIL
100 Club, W1D 1LL , [Venue Details]Action! Presents: The Dirty Nil + Bruise Control and Smug LLC
The Dirty Nil — The Lash
The Dirty Nil has always brought a bit of flash and colour to rock ‘n’ roll.
Whether it’s the bejeweled stars and lightning bolts emblazoned on frontman Luke Bentham’s stage outfits or the multi-dimensional, psychedelic artwork splashed across album covers, the Hamilton, Ontario-based band likes to add a little flair. But on their fifth album, The Lash, the Nil is stripping it all back. No more flash. No more colour. The slate is getting wiped. Back to basics.
It started when Bentham was touring the Vatican and found inspiration in its Italian art. “I was in a very dusty part of the basement, and they had these crazy bronze reliefs that were some of the most brutal things I’ve ever seen,” he recalls. “There was a particular one called ‘The Horrors of War. ’ It was two guys fighting over a knife. That image ended up guiding a lot of this record.”
The band enlisted UK designer Jack Sabbat for his acerbic, bootleg punk-flyer style that leans heavily on skeletons and battle axes, assuring The Lash would look right at home in a beat-up bin of old Crass records or in a Medieval torture dungeon. “We thought, Let’s pull back this insane colour palette that we’ve been using. Let’s try a bit of a palette reset.
