after some impressive soundtrack work--2005's The Assassination of Jesse James--and a busman's holiday in the raw, rocking Grinderman. As the title suggests, Lazarus finds Cave returning to familiar themes of God and redemption, although some of the raw poise and wild-eyed humour that resurfaced in Grinderman remains: take the opening title track, which retells the Biblical story of the resurrection of Lazarus as transposed onto the sleazy, poverty-stricken backdrop of modern-day New York City. Musically, the likes of "Moonland" and "Night of the Lotus Eaters" have a swampy feel, all skittering drums, simmering bass and smoky organ riffs; elsewhere, there are rockers that tie on dissonant guitars without losing their dissonant touch ("Lie Down Here"). Probably the album highlight comes with "We Call Upon the Author", a sprawling, "Sister Ray"-like chugger that shows off Cave's skill for magnificent, sung-shouted narratives: "Now mixamatoid kids roam the streets, we've shunned them from the greasy grind/The poor little things, they look so sad and old as they mount us from behind". --Louis Pattison

Dig Lazarus Dig is Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 14th studio album and includes the line-up of
1 - Dig Lazarus Dig -
The album, first song and hit single Dig, Lazarus, Dig takes its name from Lazarus who according to the story in the bible was brought up from the grave by Jesus. Nick Cave claims to have always wanted to know how Lazarus felt about this and this song shows the situation from Lazarus's point of view and ... ...is a great song with quality lyrics and a superb hook line. 10/10
2 - Today's Lesson - Catchy song that gets better and more rowdy as it goes on, intriguing lyrics. 8/10
3 - Moonland - Not really my favourite song on the album, sounds like Tom Jones doing Frank Zappa and it's all a bit dramatic and the song isn't really going anywhere. 4/10
4 - Night of the Lotus Eater - Back to form with slow psychedelic sounds and ghosty vocals, many might not ...

Album Notes: The fourteenth studio album from Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds transports the biblical character of the title to contemporary New York, as well as drawing inspiration from escapologist Harry Houdini. Featuring the majority of his usual personnel in The Bad Seeds (including violinist Warren Ellis and organist/pianist Conway Savage), 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig' displays a rawer, more garage-inspired rock sound closer to Cave's side-project Grinderman. The lead single (and title track) displays the kind of meandering wordplay and subversive narratives that Nick Cave has become notable for.
