Nick Cave and Bad Seeds set to Release Book

After taking home Mojo Magazines Record of the Year award, Mr. Cave and the boys announced on July 8th they are releasing their book for the album that won, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" Straight from the lips and/or Pen of Mr. Sunshine himself

“The little book is about the making of the song ‘Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!’ It is a curiosity that deals with the preparation and final glorious outcome of a project that began on the back of an envelope, a literal 'scrap' of an idea and ended up evolving into a genuine cultural icon and classic rock 'n' roll song, due to the collaborative efforts of myself, The Bad Seeds and Brit artists Sue Webster and Tim Noble. The song, which is a comic re-imagining of the Lazarus myth (placing the recently 'risen' Lazarus in 70's New York City) is accompanied by an eight foot square light sculpture, employing over 750 light bulbs, built by Webster and Noble. This little book documents the journey of this mammoth collaboration. Dig it!!!”

Then the band will hit the road this fall.
