Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig
Album Review

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Dig, Lazurus, Dig!!!

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds bring delight to our ears and fiddle with our brains this boring and bitter February with their new single Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! It’s the first single and title track from their forthcoming album released on 3rd March 2008.

Nick and his crew have gone all religious on us, providing us with their rendition of Lazarus whilst making it contemporary and hilarious; ‘I’ve taken Lazarus and stuck him in New York City, in order to give the song a hip contemporary feel’ says Cave.

Taking the role of an American preacher, this song offers a light-hearted feel good theme whilst educating us on the great New Yorker that is Lazarus!

However with the same repetitive riff throughout it’s incredibly hard to get this song out of your head once you’ve heard it, making it slightly annoying. But putting that aside, this song has to be listened to just that once, just to hear the story.
