NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS – MORE NEWS FROM NOWHERE (MUTE)


NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS – MORE NEWS FROM NOWHERE (MUTE)

Not the most obvious of songs from Dig Lazarus Dig to be released as a single and at £4.99 this is a pretty bog standard seven inch for a such a price purchased new (and not collector).

Situated as something of an outro song, this song is a breeze, a grand description of a failed woo. There is a definite degree of persistence attached to the continued efforts and shattered groove.

You can hear/tell that the band is having fun as they downright sound like the Velvet Underground on a sunny day. The devil may care atmosphere and attitude applied to this song comes with a genuine sense of mischief that is infectious in a way that only the most accomplished of individuals are able mutter.

The sound of resignation to contentment, with a very mature feeling this song causes me to look up from what I am doing and smile.

This is the kind of song you have stuck in your head as you walk home in a happy haze having pulled and scored.

Elsewhere the song is accompanied by “Fleeting Love” a downbeat, almost country piano led track that crashes with an “In The Ghetto” crossed with Harold And Maude era Cat Stevens vibe.

Thesaurus moment: win.
