Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds release their DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!! book on 28th July. The 46-page hard back four inch square book contains exclusive handwritten lyrics and notes by Nick Cave, photos and illustrations, a three inch CD of the single ‘Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!’, plus an interview with Nick Cave and British artists Tim Noble And Sue Webster who created the cover art for the album, DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!!.
Nick Cave on the DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!! book:
“The little book is about the making of the song ‘Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!’ It is a curiosity that deals with the preparation and final glorious outcome of a project that began on the back of an envelope, a literal 'scrap' of an idea and ended up evolving into a genuine cultural icon and classic rock 'n' roll song, due to the collaborative efforts of myself, The Bad Seeds and Brit artists Sue Webster and Tim Noble. The song, which is a comic re-imagining of the Lazarus myth (placing the recently 'risen' Lazarus in 70's New York City) is accompanied by an eight foot square light sculpture, employing over 750 light bulbs, built by Webster and Noble. This little book documents the journey of this mammoth collaboration.
“Dig it!!!”
The book will be available from music specialists, HMV, Zavvi, Amazon and selected branches of Waterstones.
