Recently, Nick Cave has dabbled in a few side projects like Grinderman and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the latter of which he helped compose the score for. Both these musical endeavors have involved some of the Bad Seeds, but its been four years since the proper band put out a studio album.
Hope for a fresh offering was resurrected in late 2007 with reports of a new Bad Seeds record set to drop in the U.K. March 3. Now we can confirm that the album will hit U.S. shelves on April 8.
Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! will be the band’s 14th studio album, and will consist of the same crew that played on Abattoir Blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus.
