Free Music Notes for Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!
Free Music Review: Hard Driving Rock with Dirty Blues Mixed In
Hit: 5 Stars
Nick Cave has been an outstanding musician for decades. Although he has written amazing songs throughout the years, he has not yet achieved great success (his albums on the top 10). Even though what I know of him, he'd probably prefer it that way, to not be in the mainstream of the rock world (you know being classified as commercial). This release of Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! is considerably one of his best. It's released after he took time off to work with his side project Grinderman last year then returned and recorded this album.
Whatever he did, like getting out other frustrations with Grinderman, worked because this album contains fierce hard driving rock tunes with dirty blues mixed in. He has a song "Jesus Of The Moon" that is a more mellow piano style track and the title track that hits you with it's pounding drums and then there's "Moonland" that has a more funk sorta vibe to it. Overall this is a great album with strong interesting songs.
Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! Poster
Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! finds Nick Cave back at the helm of his long-term band The Bad Seeds after some impressive soundtrack work--2005's The Assassination of Jesse James--and a busman's holiday in the raw, rocking Grinderman. As the title suggests, Lazarus finds Cave returning to familiar themes of God and redemption, although some of the raw poise and wild-eyed humour that resurfaced in Grinderman remains: take the opening title track, which retells the Biblical story of the resurrection of Lazarus as transposed onto the sleazy, poverty-stricken backdrop of modern-day New York City. Musically, the likes of "Moonland" and "Night of the Lotus Eaters" have a swampy feel, all skittering drums, simmering bass and smoky organ riffs; elsewhere, there are rockers that tie on dissonant guitars without losing their dissonant touch ("Lie Down Here"). Probably the album highlight comes with "We Call Upon the Author", a sprawling, "Sister Ray"-like chugger that shows off Cave's skill for magnificent, sung-shouted narratives: "Now mixamatoid kids roam the streets, we've shunned them from the greasy grind/The poor little things, they look so sad and old as they mount us from behind". --Louis PattisonLimited edition pressing of the 2008 album from Nick and his Bad Seeds featuring a bonus 60 page book. This version not scheduled for release in North America. Produced by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Nick Launay who worked with the band on their last album Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus, this album was recorded over the summer of 2007 at State of the Ark Studios in Richmond and mixed by Nick Launay. Dig Lazarus Dig transports the biblical character of the title to contemporary New York, as well as drawing inspiration from escapologist Harry Houdini. Featuring the majority of his usual personnel in The Bad Seeds (including violinist Warren Ellis and organist/pianist Conway Savage). Mute.
