Hit: 4 Stars
"Only Nick Cave could make hell on earth sound so thrilling, atmospheric and damn funny".Graeme Thomson.
Evidently reinvigorated by his mid-life-crisis stint in punk-rock incarnation Grinderman, Nick Cave returns with Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! - a thrilling, sprawling album.
Its themes of sex, death and religion, and its cast of strange shadowy creatures occupying a rich and looming musical landscape are familiar, but there is definitely a new energy at play.
The magnificent "Jesus of the Moon" - one of several tracks where Cave trades his preacher-man delivery for that of a storyteller - is among the finest moments of his career, and there's much more to rave about besides. Now 50 and no longer the menacing figure he was during the decades he maintained a heroin habit, Nick Cave has become a prodigious artist(responsible for soundtracks, screenplays and essays as well as his solo material) who ranks alongside the likes of Bob Dylan and Tom Waits.
The backdrops to these narratives and speculations range from churning rock'n'roll vamps, barrages of distorted guitar noise and hypnotic chants, to the shimmering mandolin and viola, caressed with tender breaths of flute, that multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis conjures up for the beautiful "Jesus of the Moon".
There's more than enough on here - the wonderfully morbid lyrics, the almost animal guitar sounds and, of course, that voice - to savour.
My favourute tracks are : "Jesus of the Moon", "We Call Upon the Author", "More News From Nowhere", "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!", and "Today's Lesson".
Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! Poster
Last seen under the gleeful guise of 2007's Grinderman, a no-nonsense rock 'n' roll excuse to head down to the basement and shout, now Nick Cave returns to his full time Bad Seeds co-conspirators for this release. "Grinderman was deliberately spare and the concepts were pretty simple," explains Cave. "With 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!' we allowed ourselves to get expansive." It picks up where Grinderman left off, filled with Stoogified electric guitar, driving beats, and Cave's literate, seductive, and firmly tongue-in-cheek lyrics.Pop Music CDs
