Nick Cave Reveals New Bad Seeds Record

Now that Nick Cave is done cranking out film scores (The Proposition, The Assassination of Jesse James) and one hell of an id-exorcising side project (the sex-obsessed Grinderman), the former Birthday Party frontman is finally about to bless us with a new Bad Seeds record. While Dig Lazarus Dig!!! is due out April 8 through Anti- in the U.S., UK shops get the album a month earlier on March 3 as well as a single for the title track on February 18. The wankers!

Anywho, the ever-modest Cave had this to say in a recent MOJO interview, "All of us feel we have done something really different. Musically there's just stuff you've never heard before. To be honest it's an unmitigated masterpiece." He added, "[All the characters] on the album seem to be asleep, unconscious, or dead—all set to a swinging, groovy beat ... I can't remember being more pleased with a record."

Get your sandbox shovel out:

1. Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
2. Today's Lesson
3. Moonland
4. Night of the Lotus Eaters
5. Albert Goes West
6. We Call Upon the Author
7. Hold On to Yourself
8. Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl)
9. Jesus of the Moon
10. Midnight Man
11. More News From Nowhere
