Nick Cave & Bad Seeds New Single Due Soon
Published Tuesday, 18th March, 2008 at 6:03 PM
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds release the second single More News From Nowhere from their Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! album this coming May, to coincide with their live dates in the same month.
A CD, 7" and download will see the title track joined by an exclusive new recording named Fleeting Love, as well as cover art by British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster.
Cave says of More News From Nowhere: "This song has nothing to do with the classic work of utopian fiction (1890) by William Morris. A guy travels aimlessly and endlessly through a kind of horror house of past affairs trying unsuccessfully to get laid."
"What interests me most about More News From Nowhere is that quite possibly, although I can't be completely sure, the central character is dead and his story is a just a kind of posthumous bad-trip, a death-trip, so to speak. What alerted me to this was the nifty line "Janet is known to make dead men groan"."
"All the usual suspects are there, and I won't name them all, you can have fun at home working all that if you can be fucked, but suffice to say this is all an elaborate ruse, as after 8 minutes we are at the belated denouement. The terrible sense of vertigo we feel when we realise that each moment we live is rendered obsolete by the next."technology and women and little children too".
As pointed-out earlier in this article, May will see new Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds tour dates for the UK and Ireland, including a three-night London residency at the Hammersmith Apollo.
